Maybe I won't have to hand edit my /etc/X11/xorg.conf after all. :)

(Although I did manage to get a twinview desk top running on pair of 19 inch crts on the first try)

PS. If the Readme.txt file is missing containing the instructions for booting to a different run level (necessary to install the 8174 driver), you can find the instructions in nVidia's archive in this file:

ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-7676/README.txt

(For us Newbies, there you'll read you need to modify /etc/inittab then reboot to the Linux equivalent of the windows C:\ command prompt window, before you (with root super user privileges) run the "sh NVID*" as described in the nVidia instructions
