Hi all,
for those now or in the future that wish to use this card:
nvidia quadro nvs 285 device pci id: 0x0165
the magic words are:
Option "DualHead" "true"
There exists a new option called this with the modular xorg nvidia
driver.
IFF you use the latest pkgsrc. =3D=3D> CVS. as at 9/8/7.
here's my whole config xorg.conf below.
Note, no Xinerama required.
And as a result of the way it's now done,
Xscreensaver runs across the 2 screens at once.
Whereas with Xinerama, it ran 2 screensavers.:).
cheers,
Paul.

Can you please send the important bit of the configuration to
