    2 Video Cards ?

    Been looking around and have been trying for 2 days to get my 3 monitors to work with my 2 video cards , looking for any help.

    When the system starts up I get the bootup screens on the 3rd monitor , then the login box shows up on the 1st monitor and when logging out I see the shutdown screen on the 3rd monitor again , so I know ubuntu see's it , but not sure how to include it in the regular desktop . It its just a lighted very dark red and I can't move my mouse or any windows over to it , here is my xorg.conf that I modified and tried to get it to work with :

    # nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
    # nvidia-settings: version 260.19.06 (buildd@palmer) Mon Oct 4 16:01:38 UTC 2010
