I hooked up an LCD to my AGP slot and a VGA to the NVDA slot on my G5 2.2 with a GeForce FX 5200 card. i was told this system supports dual monitors.

Both monitors light up, both have the background graphic.

With both hooked up, The LCD displays the cursor while the VGA displays the Desktop. Neither my wacom tablet nor the regular apple mouse will move the cursor over to access the system. Pressing Tab will bop the selection around on the VGA desktop but I can't actually select anything none of the other key commands seem to work.

With only the LCD hooked up I went to OS Help. It sez, go to monitor control, which I can't do with both monitors hooked up! With only the LCD active, the options mentioned in the "Help" page do not appear on my monitor control panel only, rez, colors, refresh rate and "detect monitors."

Does this mean the video card does NOT support dual monitors or am I missing something?

I realize this question is way beneath many of you and I appreciate your patience and ideas.
