Re: dual nvidia problems
i have two pci-e x16 slots and the motherboard supports nvidia-SLI i see only the 8400. if i swap the cards, i see only the 8600. i have a bios option which should start the second card or the first card but it seems to have no effects.

Re: dual nvidia problems
ok, it was a problem of jumpers on the motherboard. i am now able to start an X-server on the left card using X -layout LeftMonitor , then i start an x-server on the right monitor using X :1 -layout RightMonitor the problem is: if i press ctrl-alt-f7 i see only the left monitor. if i press ctrl-alt-f8 i see only the right monitor. is there a way to make them both work at the same time ?
