Find another nvidia driver, one that supports *that* card. On the machine I use at work, I've got an older nVidia card (I want to say an 1100), and I found a driver (<somethingorother>.173<something>), and that supports twinview for two monitors. A month, month and a half ago, another admin upgraded my system, and I either rebooted, or something, and lost twinview, and spent an hour getting rid of the new driver (18?), reinstalling the old driver, and then reconfiguring X back to what I wanted.... > When I go to: Administration -> Display -> Settings > and select 1440x900, it changes it to 1280x1024. Look for an *explicit* nVidia display control somewhere in your administration menu. The default won't do it right. <snip> mark -- "Profit-making is a technique for encouraging human enterprise, not an end in itself." p17, "Have I Ever Lied To You Before?", Jerry Goodis, 1972
