Okay, so I got an extra CRT monitor for 5 bucks and I have been having a little trouble setting it up. I have two nVidia cards (one AGP and one PCI) and the AGP one is currently handling my middle and leftmost monitors (using TwinView). I have edited my xorg.conf file a few times to attempt to get it to work, but X always fails to lauch. I was trying to use both Xinerama and TwinView so I could still have 3D acceleration. It will work according to this site (http://pwp.netcabo.pt/0150048402/linux/Multiple_Nvidia_Multiple_Head.html) but it is hard to follow his example (he used 4 monitors). I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me what changes I need to make to the Xorg.conf file (please be specific, I am not too good with it). Here is my current one with 2 monitors:
Thanks a bunch in advance, I am looking forward to the triple-monitor awesomeness.
