nVidia amd64 breezy dual monitor configuration hell

[Danny Colligan]

Does anyone know of an easier way to set up dual monitors on a amd64 breezy
system?

I visited the nVidia page for amd64 (
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_1.0-8762.html) and dled the
run script and ran it (as root, without the X server on) and then it kept
telling me things like I didn't have the right c libraries installed, it
didn't know how to find the kernal source path, there were incompatibilites
with the compiler for the kernel and gcc, etc etc etc.  So I dled some more
stuff, tried it again, etc for several hours and it still won't cooperate.
Suffice it to say that I know there has to be an easier way to do this.  And
the worst part about it is Windows was able to get dual monitor support
running for me within seconds!

Thanks in advance,

Danny
