I have a system with an Asus-9520 dual monitor graphic card on a Intel 3.00GHz 2GB of DDR1RAM.
I don't have problems with previous versions of Ubuntu using the 173 driver using this video like an Nvidia FX-5200 driver, downloaded through Synaptic.
I use 1024 x 768 pix 70 Hz on the left monitor (1) and 1280 x 1024 60Hz on the right (2) monitor.
But now there is impossible to independant configure them because the max resolution is 640 x 320 pix 60Hz. on the left monitor.
And when I can configure in a dual view 2048 x 768 70Hz, the system fall when open the Firefox browser.

How do I made to install correctly this old 173 driver and forget the problem with the new version?

I downloaded the Ubuntu Studio 8.04 version with similar results and the link to download the 9.04 is dead.

Resolve this bug shortly please, there are many other users in the same situation wich no post here.

Excuse my rusty english please, I'm from Chile.
