yes, thanks.

I'm not sure if your card has a G80 board, but you might want to look at 
http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 to see how to setup dualhead 
nowadays.

If you're card is not supported by xrandr, I think there are other ways for 
nv, but right now I dont know which ;-)


regards,
