Here's the relative chunk of my XF86Config file:

Section "Device"
  BoardName    "GeForce 6800 GT"
  BusID        "1:0:0"
  Driver       "nvidia"
  Identifier   "Device[0]"
  Option       "TwinView"
  Option       "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"
  Option       "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
  Option       "ConnectedMonitors" "DFP,CRT"
  Screen       0
  Option       "Rotate" "off"
  VendorName   "NVidia"
EndSection

When I run lspci I only get one reference to a controller:

0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6800 
GT] (rev a1)

but since I only have one video card (with dual output) could this be an 
issue?

Thanks.
