Hey,
I just installed Fedora Core 7 along side Windows and I've been working on getting my dual-video card setup (one monitor each) working. Before I wasn't even getting signal in the second card, now I get signal but it's very dark. Almost like the monitor is dead. But it's not because I can boot back into windows and use it fine.
edit: To clarify, I can use the second monitor, it's just like the brightness is on 2 or 3 (and I re-calibrated the monitor to make sure it wasn't that).
