Hey all, I've decided to break down my original question so hopefully I can start to understand what I'm trying to do a bit better. :-) My card is an nvidia 440mx card, mandrake 9.1 with installed nvidia drivers. my goal is to get both the video port and s-video port working at the same time. I'm trying to understand the basics of an xfree86 config file so I can put mine together in a fashion that will work. Since I just have one video card, do I only need 1 device section? Or do I need to have 2 different device sections because I have 2 different ports on the card? I'm thinking I should just be able to have one device section that has all of the options in it for the card. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. (ps. I have read the nvidia howtos, but they were not very clear to me).
