Can't get my GF6600GT dual head to work for the life of me!!!


Ok, I know this is a big topic around here, but I have looked all over, and nothing I have tried has worked. Here's my issue:



I have a GeForce 6600GT (PCI-express model). It has 1 DVI plug and one VGA plug. I have a VGA adaptor on the DVI plug. I have updated the nvidia drivers. Used nvidia-xconfig --enable-all-gpus, still...I can't get my secondary monitor working at all!

I can't even get JUST the second screen working! Please tell me what in dogs name I am doing wrong!

Thanks in advance,
TruANT

Below is the output for my configs:

LSPCI -v:
Code:

I have never attempted this but have you read through the Nvidia forums at their website?
