Hello, I have AccerPower s285 computerwith 2GB of RAM, 80GB drive, running ubuntu 9.04.I understand it's an old box but this will be fine as long I can get that to work with ubuntu 9.04. I want to put couple of graphic cards into it for multiple displays and I have few problems. I hope I can find some suggestions or answers to my problems here. This mobo has 3 PCI slots so I thought that maybe I can add 2 older cards (with dual outputs - vga and hdmi): Radeon 9250 and one nVidia GeForce 6200 but for some reason things are not working as I thought they would be . I tried dozen of things in xorg.conf file but none of them seem to work, so for now I have 1 nVidia added, 1 Radeon, my power suppply is 650W kingwin. Here's my lspci output: Code: 0:09.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (rev 01) Subsystem: Hightech Information System Ltd.

I want to connect 2 or more displays to these cards so if anyone could help me out a bit I would appreciate. Can anybody give some suggestions as to how to fix my xorg.conf file? Thank you very much!!
