Thanks to Steven and a lot of digging I have this working 99% - the only problem is it seems that about every other time I logout, the system hangs and I have to hit the reset button - once that gets fixed it'll all be working. :) Here's what I did: Followed the instructions given at http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/NVIDIA_drivers_with_Red_Hat_Linux.html to rebuild the Nvidia drivers from source. And my XF86Config file looks like: # XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Screen0" LeftOf "Screen1" Screen "Screen1" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore" Option "Xinerama" EndSection Section "Files" # RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the # file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db").

Try adding the BusID from my XF86Config file to both Device sections: BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Yes, my card is in the AGP slot but still has a PCI reference. Also, it is possible that the nv dirver may not have dualhead support. You may want to try to do a google search in the nVidia newsgroup: http://groups.google.com/groups?group=alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia Of course, backup your XF86Config file before doing so. There has been a number of times while making changes that I got a blank dark screen upon bootup. But RH8 wa still running. I had to blindly log in and copy the old XF86Config back.
