The Unofficial Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) Starter Guide will tell you how to setup dual monitors for Fiesty with Nvidia.

Thank You! 1 quick question though, when i open some games with dual monitor, my mouse sometimes moves to the other screen and i click and it minimizes my game, it gets real annoying. Is there any way of having an exception, so the mouse wont go past the first screen UNLESS its alt tabed or something?

I do not know, but you could ask the Ubuntu Forums at: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ Use the Search facility there to see if the problem is already solved. If you can't find an answer, register and submit a question in the appropriate forum.

Thank you again! Also after getting the dual monitors working, i was wondering if you knew how to get seperate backgrounds for each display? At the moment all it does is span my 1 wallpaper across both screens.

P.S sorry about changing subject a bit, but i didn't want to start another thread, figured just finish it on this one.
