I am remote from the computer and do not have access to the display. But I did find out I needed to reboot after installing the nvidia driver to USE the nvidia driver, so I’ll let the user report back if it “just works” without the twinview option now…

What’s up? Any idea how to have twinview work, or what command replaced it? The help output seems to just omit that sort of functionality altogether… Any ideas? -- James Pulver CLASSE Computer Group Cornell University
