Assuming that you don't have a 'legacy' GeForce2 (see the driver README for thte list), you can run: nvidia-xconfig -a --separate-x-screens --xinerama and you'll be done. Note that there is an Xorg bug where some apps (gnome-terminal amongst them) will crash immediately if Composite is enabled with Xinerama. The workaround is to disable Composite (in FC6). --
I use KDE, hopefully all KDE apps will play nice. Where can i find this README? Thanks. -- Fedora Core 5 and proud
