So I am at work trying to setup this computer we got in. It has two really nice flat panel dell lcds. The card I am using is quadro I believe. It doesn't use the second monitor in x windows though, so I think I have to update the driver and reconfig the xf86Config file. I downloaded the newest driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run. But I have gnome setup to boot straight to x. So I edited the /etc/inittab file to make it so that it boots straight to console. I run the install file, but it still says that I have the xserver running and I can't install it. I can't figure out how to quit it. Need your help please!
