Current Status:
Win7 Ultimate -
setup for both monitors and HDTV - each screen can be adjusted seperately. I can drag program window to any of the three monitors.
LDME -
Dual Boot - no problems. System is updated.
Monitors - the monitors attached to GPU1 work as expected. (drag program windows to either monitor) HDTV attach through HDMI on GPU2 will not work. runing xrandr gives this information:

Seems the second GPU is not found. Currently using the Nouveau drivers. Attempts at installing latest nvidia drivers has failed - no matter who's instructions I followed.
There is no "/etc/X11/xorg.cong" file. Creating xorg.conf kills X.
I would be happy to have the 2 monitors working and the HDTV as a clone of one of them -- NO JOY SO FAR.
Thanks for any help or suggestions
