Hey all,

See subject. I've got a Shuttle XPC (model SN41G), which has a dual-head graphics card on the mother board, and I'm trying to get 2 1280x1024 LCDs to work on it.

Getting one display up and running is easy peasy, but I just can't get the second one to play along.

I've got Linux 2.6.14-1.656_FC4 i686 on it now (Yes, I know it's not the latest and greatest), and tried a few versions of the nVidia drivers, which build their own kernel upon installation.

However, X bombs out every time I try to get two screens up. I tried loads of different variations in xorg.conf, but can only get one screen to work.

What drivers do I need to get both displays off the on-board dual-head card working?

You may want to try asking in the Nvidia Linux forum here:

or the general linux forum here:

You'll probably have a better chance of the question being answered.
