YOu are right there was not zero information. There was however far too
little information. He needs to remember that noone on the net has been
staring at the system trying to figure out how to make it work. The only
information they have is what you give them.
The nvidea cards you mention are primarily single, very large, monitor
cards. Now they maybe can also drive two monitors, but you must let us know
what monitors and how you have them connected.
Also the ability to drive the two monitors is completely under the control
of the drivers, so the driver docs are the first place to look. Of course
you may or may not have done that, but you tell us nothing about what you
have done or tried. If you want answers, try to put yourself into the mind
of the answerer.
