    Dual monitors+compiz 64-bit

    hi there...

    I'm really new to ubuntu and i'm trying to get my Dual monitors set up using ubuntu 9.04 64-bit. I have the nvidia driver installed and currently have both displaces showing ubuntu desktop but i can only open applications on the first screen. I would also like to install compiz and get rotating cube working, but first things first I'd like my monitors be work were i can drag an application to the second monitor.

    Thanks in advanced and here is my xorg.conf file

    Re: Dual monitors+compiz 64-bit

    Just hit up the terminal and type
    Code:
    sudo nvidia-settings
    this will bring up all your info and from there you can change your configuration to twin view etc...
    save and exit and you should be set!
    Cheers!
