There is a project called Nouveau aiming to write a more complete free driver for Nvidia cards, and it seems like they have support for dual screen. See http://airlied.livejournal.com/39093.html I don't know if your card is supported, but it could be worth a try. Be aware that Nouveau haven't made any releases yet and is highly experimental code. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
