Thanks for your advice! My posting did refer to the open source nv
driver. I suppose your XF86config is for the binary nvidia driver. I
downloaded the nvidia driver for AMD64 but failed to get it compiled (cf
my separate post). As soon as I can manage to install it, I will test
the dual head configuration.
