Dual display

[Patrick]

Thanks Andrew

Here is what I have:

00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51G [GeForce 
6100] (rev a2)

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "nVidia Corporation C51G [GeForce 6100]"
    Driver        "nvidia"
    Busid        "PCI:0:5:0"
    Option        "AddARGBVisuals"    "True"
    Option        "AddARGBGLXVisuals"    "True"
    Option        "NoLogo"    "True"

I have not had any problems with the quality of the display only the 
reliability  of the system.

Thanks for you time!-Patrick
