help with twin view
I am very new to Linux but I have figured a few things out. I got the nvidia driver installed and I can see the settings in the Nvidia display settings.

I tryed turning dual head on and entering my 2nd monitors type but once x server restarts I get the error saying it cant be restarted. It goes from the nvidia logo screen back to an error (NVRM Xid (001:00) 1, Channel 00000000 Method 00000000 Data 01014700) five times and then locks up.

Once I restore the defaults and get back into linux the settings in the nvidia display settings dissapear and I have to reinstall them(im sure theres a better way then reinstalling them, like enabling something somewhere but I don't know how). So I dont think dual head is what I need to use (or i'm doing it wrong). So I searched around the forum some more and saw posts about twin view instead.

What do I need to do to get this working
Below is the uname output and my current xorg.conf information.

uname -r
Code:
2.6.17-1.2174_FC5
xorg.conf

Here's my config file. Check it out, it may help you to configure yours.

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:

You may NOT need to have the line
Option "Xinerama" "on"
in fact, it may help to comment it out.
And you are welcome . Glad I could help.
