Well I was able to solve my own problem but I had to install suse and fedora to get a working XF86Config file to support the twinView. I wanted to post my XF86Config file just incase it helps anyone else.

Well It looks like that is in my device section almost verbatim so I'm not sure what is going on. Thanks though.

Hello, I have posted on this earlier but now have encountered a new problem in getting twinview to work with my dual headed Nvidia 5700 Ultra. I am attempting to get it to run two dell 1800FP monitors but no matter what I do I cannot get the second monitor to do anything but clone or be garbled. I have properly installed the Nvidia drivers on the most up to date AMD 64 kernel and am able to get glx gears to work fine in the first monitor as well. However, as I said the second monitor is either garbled or it just clones. I cannot get the mouse freed from the single monitor. Any thoughts? I desperately need this to work and have searched everywhere. Below is my XF86Config file. # /.../ # XFree86 config file # Created on: 2004-07-22T12:44:16-0500.

Hey thank you for the information I still however get the same result. I know now that my Nvidia drivers aren't compiling correctly and they fail for some reason even though I have the kernel sources installed. I'll have to do some more digging.

I'm having a bit of a problem. I have a dual headed Nvidia GeForce FX 5700 Ultra card with dual DVI outputs that are connected to 2 exactly the same Dell 1800FP flat screen monitors. I am running this off of a dual AMD Opteron 242 system in the 64 bit version of Suse 9.1 and am having a hard time getting the 2nd monitor to work as a second desAktop as opposed to cloning. I have installed the Nvidia drivers for AMD64 but when I switch the XF86Config file toA nvidia as the driver things get weird. More importantly no matter what I do the 2nd flat panel is either blank or still clones so I'm at a loss and am hoping someone can help. I have attached the XF86Config file as it is now if anyone has suggestions it is appreciated. XF86Config File: # /.../ # XFree86 config file # Created on: 2004-07-13T18:21:40-0500.

Well this appears to me to be a common theme with most linux distros but here it goes. I have a new computer that I built with a tyan tiger k8w board and dual opteron 242 processors. I also got with this board a western digital 250 Gb harddrive since this motherboard has an onboard serial ata controller, a silicon image 3114 to be exact. The problem is that silicon image has released some drivers for other distros but not mandrake yet. I want to install the amd 64 version of mandrake to get full use of the 64 bit processors but can't find anything to get this hard drive to be recognized. The installer says no hard disks exist naturally. If anyone could help me with what to do or knows of a driver that will work I'd love to hear it. Thanks. scaley
