I have a PC that has an integrated graphics chip on the motherboard. It runs X nicely. I bought a video card (NVIDIA GEFORCE FX5200), installed it in a PCI slot, downloaded the drivers from the nvidia website, installed them, rebooted, connected the monitor to the new video card, and that worked fine.

came a cross this as ive been using thunderbird for years what am i missing out on? just wondering as Im quite used to windows people telling me i need a new os windows can do this and that (all of which i can do in my own way quietly)
I had a wide screen monitor die on me. :-(
The only other monitor I have doesn't seem to support the wide resolution I had on the big monitor.
When I try to boot it up, using the smaller monitor, it throws an error message "Input Not Supported". It does this using either my video card or my onboard graphics.
I have been trying this to no avail. I am a linux newb, so a step by step explanation would be greatly appreciated. I have two video cards, nvidia geforce 8600 gt . I want a monitor to run on each card, so twinview cannot be used because my understanding that is only for single video cards.
I went to the system monitors tab and my second display is detected but disabled.
Does the onboard video on the motherboard affect the X windows configuration?
My system has onboard and pcie video. The onboard video is a NVIDIA GeForce 7025 GPU, On Board Graphic Max. Memory Share Up to 512MB(Under OS By Turbo Cache). I have a pcie dual head video card installed with two monitors. The video card is a GeForce 8400 GS, with 512mb memory.

PulseAudio was supposed to cure desktop audio in Linux. It promised useful features like device routing and individual volume controls. It may well do these things; in my experience it has been frustrating, opaque, and unreliable. Some have claimed that Ubuntu's implementation is flawed; I haven't looked at other distros yet, so I don't know.
I recently moved to 9.10 and have lost the ability to run a dual monitor arrangement with my ageing Matrox G550. After searching the various forums, it seems that if I want to use more than one monitor I need a new video card. Fine.
I am new to Ubuntu 12.04. A month or so ago I had ATI Radeon video card with plugs for two displays, and Ubuntu showd desktop on both. Then I switched to Nvidia GeForce GTX 680, also dual-display cable. But now it only diplays on one monitor. I made sure cable connections are tight; I know they're good cables because they worked with ATI card.
Any ideas how to get my dual displays back?
I have a Asus hd monitor plugged into my nvidia card and a monitor plugged into my intel graphics card. I have this setup because the second monitor is an older apple cinema plasma display with a dvi interface. It's interface will not fit next to my Asus monitor on the gpu. In windows I can get a dual monitor setup no problem. My motherboard is a Z68 Gigabyte.
