I'm relatively new to Mandriva and Linux. I've paid for and installed Mandriva 2007 Powerpack version. Everything is up and running; however, I am unable to extend my desktop to multiple monitors. System specs:
nVidia 6800 card with analog and digital output. I have one CRT connected to the analog port and one to the DVI port. This configuration works fine on Windows XP. I have installed the proprietary nVidia driver during Mandriva installation. I get the nVidia splash screen and the system works great. Please let me know the step-by-step procedure to "extend" the desktop. I can clone the desktop using the HardDrak tool but I want to extend the desktop to get the additional real estate. Thanks in advance.
