Dual Monitor Configuration What am I doing wrong?

halo09 · 07-11-2006, 12:39 PM

I've set up countless systems with dual monitors, for some reason this system is causing havoc. The main monitor is a widescreen Dell 2005FPW model LCD. (I'm using VGA) connected to a PCI MX4000 Nvidia card. The second monitor is an HP CRT mx704 model connected to the onboard i810 video adapter. The main monitor works perfectly. The second monitor just sits there. When I try to do things the easy way through KDE system settings, it doesn't even see the HP monitor, and wants to use the Dell monitor for both drivers. This is what confuses the heck out of me.
Kubuntu 6.06 FYI, stock 2.6.15-23 kernel.

I'm not certain about this, but it seems you have both of these pointing to screen 0. Try changing the second one to screen 1.

Also, if you're using the nvidia driver, driver "nv" should be driver "nvidia", I believe.
