Just switched from XP last night, and don't want to go back! However, i can't seem to get the TwinView function on my NVidia GEForce 5200 up and running. I've got the right drivers installed, and get the NVidia splash when starting KDE. I'm running Mandrake 10.
Here's a copy of the XF86Confg-4 file that I'm using.
Code:
# File generated by XFdrake.

# Refer to the XF86Config man page for details about the format of

Section "Files"
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
FontPath "unix/:-1"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
#DontZap # disable <Crtl><Alt><BS> (server abort)
#DontZoom # disable <Crtl><Alt><KP_+>/<KP_-> (resolution switching)
AllowMouseOpenFail # allows the server to start up even if the mouse doesn't work

Can someone take a look at this and let me know what is wrong? Any links would help, but please don't say you need YanC! I've tried this with no luck as well. If anyone has this working on their system, a copy of your config would be nice.
