Subject: SuSE 9.2/GeForce 5500/Dual Monitors (2*Dell 1702FP)
I have a machine at work running SuSE 9.2, and I am trying to get both
monitors running, at once. So far, I have tried every setting in SaX2
I could conceive of, and googled myself silly. I can't get the two
monitors to work; one remains black. The card has one DVI port and
one VGA port. Immediately after install the display connected to the
DVI port was working. Since installing nVidia's driver through YaST
the monitor attached to the VGA port is the one working. I have
attached my xorg.conf file in the hope that someone will be able to
spot what I'm doing wrong.

Thank you, in advance, for your help!
