For the sake of completeness, I will document my experience here. I used the downloaded nVidia installer and found it to be a very smooth and painless excersise. My previous attempts at using nvidia-x11-drv and nvidia-settings were foiled, as for some reason the GUI to nvidia-settings did not give me access to the multi-monitor stuff which you mentioned (and which I was expecting, since I've done this successfully before, at home). Many thanks for your speedy, helpful and concise response! Reading the release notes helps, as more than one is compatible with your card more times than not, one is better than the other. There are various idiosyncraies of each driver.

There is the link for your driver download, it is the latest, 169.12 version an example of another one which is reference by your repo is and you can see the versioning there.

Once you go to and navigate the Drivers and Downloads it will make more sense, you said you have a nVidia Quadro NVS 290 These are just following the NVIDIA naming convention:

You also need the kernel-headers and kernel-devel packages installed on your system (yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel). You can get this from NVIDIA website, Drivers & Downloads, it is a pretty seamless navigation of drop-downs. See if that helps out at all, of course, you will need the proprietary nvidia driver, which is easy enough to install and worthwhile if you are using advanced configuration or openGL applications. Option "MetaModes" "nvidia-auto-select, nvidia-auto-select" Otherwise, you can edit /etc/X11/nf and in the section named, Section "Screen" you should have two options for this setup included: This is the easiest way to get it to work. The DISPLAY subdialog box should read Configuration: TwinView. It should detect both monitors and have their modle inside the little square representing the monitor. This is where you can pre-select your monitor layout.
From there, the 2nd down item should be X Server Display Configuration. Since you have an nvidia card, you can run nvidia-settings which should open up the NVIDIA X Server Settings GUI. TwinView was a bear a few years ago but has matured nicely with the proliferation of the dual/three/quad-head workstations, it shouldn't be that difficult (hopefully). Please can anyone help me identify the problem(s) and get my Dual Head up and running? I have a Dell PE800 at home, running Ubuntu Gutsy and driving 3 monitors with a PNY nVidia Quadro NVS 440 graphics card, so am hopeful that I can do this similar thing at work. Now, I have no idea if I was using the right one or even how I might specify which version I want to use, but I'm hoping somebody here will be able to enlighten me and point me in the right direction for success (be it one of the rpms listed above, or in another repository, or just show me the error of my ways). I tried using the nvidia-x11-drv via yum (though looking at it I'm not sure which version). I have done 'yum remove nvidia-x11-drv', 'rm /etc/X11/nf' and am using the system on just 1 monitor. My experience so far, is that if I run 'Xorg -configure' or 'nvidia-xconfig', seeing no errors, I move the resulting conf file to /etc/X11/ but my system not only fails to get a successful X session, I am left with a hung machine (in which even 'ssh' does not work. I intend on configuring Xinerama Dual Head capability in Xorg, but so far, I have been unsuccessful. With no nf, I get a usable X session (though my keyboard settings differ from the default (magic) config which gets used. I have now installed CentOS 5, which I believe to be essentially "RedHat Enterprise Linux 5" (correct me if I'm wrong). I tried installing Ubuntu to no avail and have asked for help in the Specific Ubuntu Dell Forum: The reason I chose this system was because it was Linux "tested", but I have been experiencing problems. I've recently convinced my employer to purchase a Dell Precision T3400 WorkStation with a nVidia Quadro NVS 290 Dual Head graphics card.
