I seem to require a little help in setting something up.
I have an Nvidia 6600GT 256MB with 2 GPU's on a single card.
What I would like to do is configure each GPU to run a separate screen. IE : GPU:0 running my monitor, and GPU:1 running my TV. (As opposed to right now where both screens are using GPU:0.
I wonder if anyone has any ideas of how to get the Second GPU working, other than just idling all the time.
Heres my Xorg. (It's probably a mess, hey it works)

Lspci shows:
04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT] (rev a2)
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT] (rev a2)
Simply changing 0:5 to 0:4 in my xorg, fails to start x.
No Matching Device Section for instance (BusID 04:00:00) found.
Changing all instances of 05: to 04 should simply tell both screens to now run on the other GPU, like nothing has changed. Should it not ?
I think the problem lies in that this card is somewhat "retarded". In that it is actually 2 x 128MB cards on a single board, that requires SLI for the two work together.
The Card is a Gigabyte GV-3D1 Dual nVIDIA 6600GT PCI-E, and I am using the latest Nvidia Drivers.
I'll keep noodling until I get it working.
Pleese Halp.
