Re: Dual monitor possible?

I think it is build in the motherboard, there is no card just a pink thing
(sorry don't know the name) plug into the motherboard. I did lspci and cat
xorg.conf and it seems that it is not the same card that appears. I let you
see the result. I colored what I mean. Let me know if what that means.

I don't see the old card either.
It is a separate card too? or built into the motherboard?

The first bunch of lines all refer to other chips on your motherboard,
which in your case also happen to be made by nVidia. They have
nothing to do with video though. the (different version?) thing is
part of the label the driver identified that chip set with - doesn't
mean anything really.
