OK i got both monitors to work and they show the same screen. only now when i try to set duel monitors in the desktop controls it tells me (Your X server does not support resizing and rotating the display. Please update to version 4.3 or greater. You need the X Resize And Rotate extenstion (RANDR)version 1.1 or greater to use this feature).
what did i do wrong. here is my new Xconfig file # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Multihead layout" Screen "Screen0" LeftOf "Screen1" Screen "Screen1" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" Option "Xinerama" "on" Option "Clone" "off" EndSection Section "Files" # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, a font server independent of the X server is # used to render fonts.

You should change the Screen>Driver setting from "vesa" to "nvidia". That's the whole purpose of installing the driver (nvidia).
