Hello, I am a somewhat newbie to Linux as I just installed it on my primary computer, but I have been playing around with Knoppix for a few months. I am having issues with dual head on FC 5. Since I am new at this, I tried setting it up through system-config-display. The funny thing is - it has my primary and secondary cards flipped. I don't know if that's part of the problem or not. It shows my nVidia GeForce 2 card under the hardware tab as primary, and it automatically selects the GeForce 3 card as secondary. In reality, it is the other way around. The GeForce 3 is AGP, and the GeForce 2 is a PCI card. My display is currently coming out the primary display (GeForce3) even though it's using the GeForce2 driver.
When I change the settings in the Dual Head tab and restart, one of two things happen. Either X server fails to start, or if it does start, but the second screen never shows up. I pasted my xorg.conf file below since it seems that's what you people needed to see on the other threads I have found. Thanks for any assistance.

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:

# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and

# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
