Are you using ATI's display setting manager? (I think it's called Catalyst). Also, what version of ubuntu are you using? The newer versions (for the most part) make this tutorial just about useless, as they have really good dual monitor support out of the box ^^ I’m not quite sure.

Try going to (this is off the top of my head, so it's likely not the exact procedure) the System drop down and go to display, you should see an option to configure the monitors there...if not, press ( alt + f2 ) to bring up the run dialog. I believe you just need to type "envyng" and it should run. If not, there should be a checkbox in the run dialog to run it in terminal - check it. I will verify this tomorrow. Good luck! :) Hi Carlos,

I thought this was a post about installing both an ATI and an NVIDIA card in the same machine. I have such a situation and would like it to work on Ubuntu 8.04. I have tried messing around with the xorg.conf file quite a lot, and it doesn't even seem possible. I haven't tried EnvyNG yet. In your opinion, is it possible to have two different display drivers loaded for the same X Server? I have two Tesla C1060s on PCIEx16 and one Radeon HD2400 on PCI. The Teslas are only compute devices and do not display anything. However, they do need display drivers to work correctly. Any kind of help would be awesome.

Sorry I can't be more helpful!
