Hey guys,

  Got Suse 9.1 installed and I love it. Only one tiny problem though,
on 9.0 I was able to use the "nvidia" driver on both of my monitors in
my dual head setup. In other words, I could have 3d on both heads.
For some reason, I edited my XF86Config (replacing the "nv" driver
with "nvidia") and when X starts, I get the Nvidia splash screen, on
my primary monitor, nothing on the 2nd monitor and then the pc locks
up. I am using the latest Nvidia drivers (1.0-5336). Does anyone
know if there is a limitiation to 3d being displayed on dual monitors.
 I would post my XF86Config file, but I dont have it ATM (at work).
Anyone have 3d working on both heads?

Thanks

2E
