Hello to everyone!
I'm quite, what you call here around, a "newbie" with everything related to Linux and to be precise, Kubuntu.
It happens that I have two hd one of them with Kubuntu and another one with Windows XP. Everything is quite fine the way it is but I'm running my graphics on a ATI raedon HD 4350 which has no support for the Linux system. I've had some troubles with the resolution which I've managed to solve (although there's still something wrong when I try to change it as it doesn't work properly when I reboot my computer) but above all I notice this lack of GPU requirements with applications which clearly demand on it.
I have also an nVidia Geforce 6600 which I'm not using right now and which, if I'm not wrong, this does have support for the system. So; what I was thinking about is to install them both and use the nVidia one for Kubuntu and the ATI one for WinXP but sincerely, I don't know for where to start. The idea would be use it just with one screen (which only has one VGA input) so I hope it's possible to find a 'T' wire to connect both cards knowing that just one will be sending video signal. I'm afraid that maybe it's more difficult to find the physical solution than the logical one (I could set the bios easly to boot one before the other one).
Apart from that I would be really gratefull if you could give me a clue of the files I should work on to make it work!
My most sincere thank you!
