Hello,
I've only nicely got one graphics card installed properly, it took me ages to find and fix the problems. But now I've got another problem with another graphics card and I have had enough of looking at other people problems and trying to adapt them to my situation.
So what's the problem?
My second Graphic card doesn't show up in nvidia-settings so I can't configure my monitor. I would like to know how to get Ubuntu to recognise the second hard-drive so that I can configure it up.

nVidia Corporation NV44 [GeForce 6200 LE] (rev a1) Is the monitor which works and is the best out of the two and I would like it to stay/be the main card.
