Help with Fedora 8 and dual-monitor nvidia quadro fx 540
Hi all. I need help setting up my desktop with newly installed fedora 8. I have a dual-monitor setup, which works with XP (boooo) and Ubuntu. The ubuntu setup took some searching and trial-error-reinstall-trial-error. Eventually, I was pointed to a neat little program called "nvidia-settings" which I was able to sudo apt-get from the repositories (I guess?)
Is there a similar program(?) for Fedora to let me do this? I read a few blogs that ubuntu created the "nvidia-settings" to answer fedora's dual-monitor setup. I can't seem to figure out how, though. Or do I just need to download a driver from NVIDIA, which I've already done but I ended up with errors on my X-server/xorg files... so much so that I just decided to reinstall Fedora and now it is fully functional. I may have downloaded the wrong driver, or installed it incorrectly (since I am not too familiar with how to install drivers on linux yet).
