1) It might be a hardware issue if my second video card output is broken. I may have well configured X11 for two monitors. I don't know. How can I check the second output ?
2) If you think it is not a hardware issue, then what is it ? An OS issue ? Then why should I not use Linux ? You know, there are antitrust law that forbid to bind hardware and OS in a PC. So using Linux is as alright as using anything else. Besides, unless I am wrong, the forum is not identified as a MS-Windows one.
But if you think my post should go in a more appropriate place, I would be glad to move on. Thanks.
what monitors are you using are they digital or analog as some card have 2 outputs one marked as DIV-d and 2nd as DVI-i if you monitors are Analog you will only get output on DVI-i as the DVI-D will send only digital signal so will not not work even if you have a DVI-D-sub adapter.

This is not a Linux support forum and not a dell hardware issue.

Hi SpeedStep, I don't understand your answer :
1) It might be a hardware issue if my second video card output is broken. I may have well configured X11 for two monitors. I don't know. How can I check the second output ?
2) If you think it is not a hardware issue, then what is it ? An OS issue ? Then why should I not use Linux ? You know, there are antitrust law that forbid to bind hardware and OS in a PC.

You might have better luck in the OS/Linux forum:
