Hi all, I am new to this list. I have joined this list to get this problem solved which is buggin me from three days. I have NVIDIA FX5600 card with dual monitor support, I want to use them in TwinView mode(If i understand correctly, Actually All i want it that the same screen should span in two monitors, so that i can drag a window between the two screens or even expand it to cover both the monitors simultaneously)
I have installed the latest driver from NVIDIA site, I am able to get the two monitors starting at the same time but the two screen are totaly independent that is I am not able to move windows from one Monitor to another, I am attaching and pasting my XF86Config file please help me know how to get this working.
Also if I run the startx as "startx -- -layout AGPTwinView" I get to see that the one screen only has expanded in the size but the second monitor is not being used(It goes of by the time the active monitor starts),
If it helps I will send the output of lspci also.
