Configuring multiple monitors

[Pat Maddox]

Hey Mario,

Thanks for the response.  I installed nvidia-driver and changed the
conf file as you suggested, but I get the error:
NVRM: Detected agp.ko, aborting NVIDIA AGP setup!

X still starts up, but only with one screen.  Not really sure what to
do - any ideas?

Thanks,
Pat
