I have a 7300GT eVga Video Card and from what I understand if I want to have dual monitors I need the modified drivers from livna and run sysinfo to configure them. I have run into a snag with the fact that I don't know which driver to install from the repository at livna. Once I added the repository it added a ton of drivers. I'm a noob in the field of Linux but want to come play in the would of Linux! Can someone point me in the right direction as to what driver I should load, or maybe an easier way of doing this?

Your card should run fine with the latest drivers so if you already added Livna.

su -
yum install kmod-nvidia -y
reboot

Should be all you need. :)

Now as for the multiple monitor deal, sorry I can't be of much help there, Twinview should make it easier though.

Try

nvidia-settings

from a terminal after the reboot or

ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8178/README/appendix-g.html

BTW remember to back up your working /etc/X11/xorg.conf between changes so that you can recover easily and quickly should something go wrong.
