nvidia twinview
 

All right I tried to fallow he readme provided by nvidia but I'm truly lost. I'm running a ti4200 on mandrake 10.1 on the 2.6 kernel. What Iwould like help with is what exactly do I have to do to my Xfree82config file to get the second monitor to work using twin view.

here's a copy of the file-

not specific for your distro, but the X11XF86Config-4 file section should help.

this is more for cloning for pushing data out to a TV, but the basics are still the same:
