<p><b>New page</b></p><div>==Nvidia Dual Screen==<br />
If you want a simple way to get two equal sized screens working in dual screen mode then install nvidia-xconfig and type the following:<br />
<pre><br />
# nvidia-xconfig --twinview<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
If you have different sized screens it becomes tricky. I still used the above command but had to edit the X config file which is either:<br />
/etc/X11/xorg.config (Most current FreeBSD versions)<br />
/etc/X11/XF86Config (Old FreeBSD versions and PCBSD)<br />

If you want to quickly try out new configurations then you can hit: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to restart X, this is very useful if you boot directly into a GUI because this saves you rebooting.<br />
