I just got kubuntu installed, and I have the nvidia drivers working. However, I'm having trouble getting both of my monitors working. I have an nvidia geforce 7900 gt with a Dell 2405FPW and a Samsung SyncMaster 930B, with the dell as my primary. I've spent the past 30 minutes googling and fiddling with xorg.conf with no success. I've attached my xorg.conf (with .txt at the end to make the forum happy). I know the stuff for the "second" display device is probably wrong, I've been trying different BusIDs to see if anything works. I think my main problem is that in lspci my card is only showing up once, so I can only have one display device registered in xorg.conf. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to have more than one screen for one display device. Anyone have any advice?

Re: Multiple Monitor problem
That first link worked great, thanks! I have both monitors working perfectly using Xinerama (they're different sizes so TwinView wouldn't really work). Now it's time to get the thumb buttons on my mouse working...Comment
