Well unfortunately the 'normal' way of installing the nvidia driver didnt work I tried them all in Gusty's new restricted manager. I remembered from last time I tried out beryl that the 96.43.01 or 9626 version of the nvidia driver works with my nvidia 7950 GT sparkle card.
So if you go to manual install in Envy and choose 96.43.01 it works fine.
I am trying to setup separate x screens and the nvidia settings wont do it. Every time I try it out on reboot my first monitor defaults back to a lower resolution and my second monitor goes off. Everything works fine with Twin view but I cant work well when I maximize a window and it spreads over two monitors like this and windows popup in the center.. I want to have separate monitors like I have in windows.
here is my current config attempt;
Any help is greatly appreciated I am kinda stuck.
