Hi,
I have a new machine with an nvidia quadro nvs 285 video card.

I can't get it to run both monitors.
And I'm not sure what is wrong or where to begin.

I wonder:
- do I need the nvidia driver happening or is the nv one ok?
I'm using the nv one with XFree86 which came default in NetBSD 3.1

- should I be running Xorg instead?


- I think there are different ways to run the dual head thingy. So
maybe I'm just setting it up wrong in XF86Config.

Does anyone have an XF86Config file they can post?

heres mine below.

Please help! very stuck.


thanks,
Paul.
