if the nvidia X server works with your monitor ...
you cah have dual-headed setup
	- just need to fixup /etc/X11/XF86Config
	for dual-head operation

	- 2 Screen stanza for different monitors

	- same or different device for each svga port
	( ati and matrox dual heads work very nicely )

	- than worry about which monitor is on the left and right
