Dual Monitor Setup
I am running Madriva Powerpack 2007 and have a Geoforce 7300 LE video card which has a DVI and VGA out.
I am currently running a Viewsonic 22" from the DVI out. I have just got a LG Flatron which I would like to run from the VGA out.
I would like the Viewsonic DVI to the left and the LG Flatron VGA to the right. I've tried all sorts of variations of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file but my system wont even load the xwindows system when I change things
Ive tried to follow various posts via a google search but with no luck. Can anyone suggest a way to proceed or point me in the direction of a good tutorial ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

I currently have a dual head setup for my laptop with 2 different screens, one on my laptop and the other one on the larger LCD monitor.
You will need to change the BusID "PCI:0:2:0" part. You can find it using theCode:lspci
Also change the settings to fit you monitor specifications.
If you want a continuous desktop on both screens addCode:Option "Xinerama" "On"
This is the relevant xorg.conf section:
