On my desktop: $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "nvidia" BusID "PCI:2:0:0" EndSection (Without this, X doesn't start, complaining it can't find VESA) echo $DISPLAY returns the same on both desktops. Please note: This desktop was installed years ago and simply kept up-to-date for the most part. But it does have the "xinerama" USE-flag set globally. I remember reading something about it, but not sure if this is the "new" or "old" way of doing it. I need to check how my laptop handles it later today/this weekend. -- Joost
