FC5 - dual display w/ GeForce2

[Jamie Bohr]

It does not look like a second display is configured in your xorg.conffile.

I installed it, restarted X and still had a single display.  I ran
"nvidia-xconfig -a --twinview", it locked up X and I had to do a hard
reset.  Should I try the open-source versions of the NVidia driver?  Does
that work with the display config utility?
