Hi,
I am using Fedora 3 and have
one graphics adapter Nvidia 6600 GT
and 2 monitors.
Under Windows all works correct so the hardware is ok.

Under linux I just don't get the 2nd monitor to work.
It is an old one which is not recognized automatically.

My current xorg.conf:

===============================================

I am sure this is just a lot of shit but I just don't know
what to do.
First I tried it via the nvida-readme,
with options like twinhead and the like.

But whatever I try, it does not work.
I do not understand, what I have to do.

If I have one graphics-adapter with two monitors at it,
do I have to create the following sectons:
2x screen
2x device
2x monitor
? Or what ?

Heeeeeeeeeeelp,
Zany
