dual nvidia problems

[Erez D]

ok, it was a problem of jumpers on the motherboard.

i am now able to start an X-server on the left card using "X -layout
LeftMonitor" , then i start an x-server on the right monitor using "X :1
-layout RightMonitor"

the problem is:
if i press ctrl-alt-f7 i see only the left monitor.
if i press ctrl-alt-f8 i see only the right monitor.

is there a way to make them both work at the same time ?
