I haven't had much luck setting up dual-head with the nv driver on amd64. There's a xorg bug filed about it: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5190 I've heard that ATI graphics are the only option for dual-head support on amd64, since everything else seems to depend on i386-only proprietary blobs. regards, Andrew
