Hello all, I was trying to set up a system which would allow me to use two different monitors on one machine - basically, extend my current desktop across two monitors. Since I don't have (and don't want to buy) a dual head, I thought I'd fix up an older Nvidia card into this machine which already has an intel integrated chipset.
Has anyone done something like this before? Trawling the web, I found a couple of links on the Ubuntu forums (I'm using feisty fawn) - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2711426 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 The only issue is that most of these have been tried with similar cards - Nvidia/ATI et al. No one seems to have tried it with an Intel and an Nvidia card. (My Nvidia is a viper 770, which was lying around somewhere, and the Intel is a 945G) Further, out of the possible options - Xinerama, MergedFB, BigDesktop and TwinView - might anyone have recommendations based on experiences on which is most suitable?
