Hi,
I'm trying to get dual monitor working. I added nvidia and ATI drivers. My current test notebook has a nvidia card and the driver is loading on boot and does find both monitors (display and external monitor). But when I try to activate it using xrandr it doesn't work.

Does someone know how to get this working?
