Just thought I'd post the results of a small bit of fiddling I have done on my system, "To see if I can do it!!!" in the true spirit of the Linux world.
I have a GeForce FX 5500 graphics card with 256Mb ram running on my system with an Acer AL1702 monitor running 1280x1024 resolution. On the back of the graphics card is a DVI output. Having visited a local PC emporium I know have a DVI->VGA converter attached and a Dell P791 17" CRT monitor running 1024x768 resolution. After looking round the nvidia-settings panel I have now setup the 2nd monitor on the left side, NOT running Xinerama. Result: I now have a fully working second desktop on the Dell Monitor, Fully functional with its' own taskbar etc. Very handy for watching video files and still having a fully functioning EMPTY desktop on my main monitor. Just thought I'd pass on my findings to show it can be down EASILY, Rgds Ken -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
