dual screen with GeForce GT 520

[reggler]

Hi,

I got a new PC with a dual head GeForce GT 520. I connected two monitors to it but my second screen is and stays black, in the system settings I only get ione screen too. And I downloaded and installed the drivers from NVIDIA... how do I get the second screen to be my second screen rather than just a black plate?

Thanks!
Ron

Figured it out, had to enaable Xinerama in the "NVIDIA X server settings" that got installed with the driver.

If this is a desktop, you might try Twinview instead of Xinerama. IMO it handles window switching better.
