Re: FC5 - dual display w/ GeForce2

It does not look like a second display is configured in your xorg.conf file. 

I installed it, restarted X and still had a single display.  I ran "nvidia-xconfig -a --twinview", it locked up X and I had to do a hard reset.  Should I try the open-source versions of the NVidia driver?  Does that work with the display config utility?

config is still there along with Twinview.   Try the one i've attached
instead.
