Well I downloaded FC4t3.

All installed fine, all good, picked up LCD, good res, picked up 6800Ultra etc.

When it starts up, the main screen is fine, but the other LCD just has the same picture, but all corrupted.

I tried going into the Dual Head options, selecting the type of screen it was, and selecting the 6800Ultra which was already there.

Hit Ok, restarted X, and I couldn't get back into it.

Is there any place I can get a HowTo with Dual LCD's ? Or is there a problem with Dual screens?

What other info do you need?

Cheers, I wasn't sure if it would fit into hardware or software section, seeing as it's this release I was testing with I'd mention it here.

have you checked the readme for the nvidia drivers? there is a section on setting up dual screens. I havent tried it but from what i remember reading it shouldnt be much more than some tweaks to xorg.conf.

Not yet, I haven't actually had much time to play with it.

Was just wondering if it was a glaring bug or something I was just missing.
I will definately check it out later.

Here's an *example* output of xorg.conf for a Dual LCD configuration (side by side) with a GeForce 6600GT graphics card. Your xorg should be quite similar to the one found on this page, except your monitor frequencies, etc... should be different. From past experience, the DualHead configuration panel inside of Fedora hasn't really worked for me.

Take note of the mainly in the server layout and the multiple device sections.
