Public bug reported: I right now am trying xfce as I have an old nvidia card. I have a geforce 5200fx. This card has issues with any advanced grapics handling at all. The newest nvidia drivers dont work for it. I have tried to load the drivers, and they crash me out to the black screen with the x icon. I tried to set the xorg.conf file for my second monitor, and for no apparent reason it ignores the settings I have entered. I tried to find monitor.conf, and lightdm monitor.conf and neither exist. I tried a new front end that was a little easier on my machine to see if it would load. For no apparent reason the machine refuses to acknowledge that I have a second monitor, and I want to ass a virtual resolution so that it can be used. Nouveau docs give no steps, and the only thing I get in aranbdr, is a refrence to VGA-1 and TV1. Which is odd because my card does not have a T.V. out. It does have a DVI out which is shows as disabled. At this point the fact that not only will x not recognize my second monitor, but that it shows a tv output leaves me to assume that there is a bug with X not being able to detect my second monitor, and also not allowing me to make any manual changes to the xconfig file.
