Multi Monitors

I am new to linux, so go easy on me.
I have three monitors, two running off a ATI Radeon HD2400 and one running off a Nvidia Geforce 6150.
I have installed the Ati drivers and can use two monitors, is there a way of also activating the monitor on the nvidia card?
So that i have all three available.
Thank you

When you go to "additional drivers", is there any recomended (closed) Nvidia driver to enable? Have you tried enabling it?

I suppose you are talking about ZOrin6. Kernel 3.2.0-25 is unfortunately a little buggy with Nvidia cards for the moment. Bug reports have been filed and since this is an LTS edition, it will be looked after, hopefully soon enough.
Try enabling the closed drivers and see if that improves things.

Yes iam using ZOrin6, activating the nvidia drivers just deactivates the ATI drivers.
Still never mind, at least i have two monitors.
or i could go back to windows
