Dual Monitors on Dell D820 with Nvidia N120 graphics card

I'm unable to get my desktop to extend to my second monitor, the problem i'm
having is vista trys to extend to the laptop display and not the actuall
monitor. All three displays are detected in the device manager, and this
worked fine with RC1. I'm guessing its a driver issue, i'm using the new WDDM
driver for RC2. Any ideas?

You're using an ATI driver on a Nvidia card???? You sure? So far Nvidia has
refused to release any drivers that have more than basic functionality,
although I did get the dual display working by going into the display
properties in the Nvidia control panel. TTFN

It is an Nvidia card, so I guess we just have to wait for better driver
support from them.

Is that an Nvidia Quadro NVS 120M card? If so, I can try to replicate
here...
