Hello,

I've finally decided to take the plunge with Linux, after more than 12 
years of DOS/Windows. I find myself right back in the newbie category 
and I'm anxious to get out! However, I need some help...

I have installed SuSE Linux 9.0 Professional. I have managed to install 
KDE 3.2. My hardware seems to be working more or less okay. There are 
still issues, one of them with my videocard.

I've got the nVidia GeForce4 Ti 4400 128 MB videocard, correctly 
identified by Linux. I've installed nVidia's drivers and 3D features are 
enabled. I've got a Dell 1504FP TFT monitor and a IIyama Vision Master 
Pro 411 CRT monitor connected.

On my XP partition the TFT monitor is the main screen, the CRT monitor 
serves as secondary. Unfortunately, on Linux my CRT monitor is the only 
one found and used as main screen. Whenever I try to change my settings 
in YaST2/Sax2, I get this error:

Monitor (0) with ID: Dell300D not found
Please setup your monitor manually. Do you want to start the 
configuration dialog to setup the display now?

Clicking Yes only seems to allow me to change the settings for the CRT 
monitor. I can't seem to add a second monitor or anything.

Frankly I don't have a clue on how to proceed and would really 
appreciate some help. I just want TFT + CRT to work again, switching to 
TV + TFT and back would be perfect.

I hope someone can help me with this question. Many thanks in advance!

p.s. if you require more information, feel free to ask. I'm not sure 
what to provide cos I'm a newbie :)
