Dual monitor help

[Dutch]

Hope you can help. I've got an NVidia Geforce 5200 graphics card with D-sub and DVI outputs on Mandriva 2006 and prior to getting my second screen I used the D-sub connector to the first (both screens are LCD).

 

On reading through various posts and HOWTO's I changed my xorg.conf to get dual monitor display, as follows: -

 

# File generated by XFdrake.

Section "Files"

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)

# By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of

# the X server to render fonts.

FontPath "unix/:-1"

EndSection

 

Section "ServerFlags"

#DontZap # disable <Crtl><Alt><BS> (server abort)

AllowMouseOpenFail # allows the server to start up even if the mouse does not work

#DontZoom # disable <Crtl><Alt><KP_+>/<KP_-> (resolution switching)

The second screen now works, but the original screen is blank! The picture has effectively moved left to the second (DVI connected) screen.

 

There's probably something simple that I'm doing wrong, but any thoughts would be appreciated............
