desktop built-in VGA port and Nvidia geforce210 for dual monitor

By Sarah Rodriguez

I have a problem on my monitor, one monitor is connected to the built-in VGA port and the other one is connected on my video card which is a NVIDIA GeForce210. At first the two monitor work but when I installed the driver for the NVIDIA GeForce210 the monitor connected to the built-in VGA port stopped working (it's not being detected anymore).

When I run xrandr, this is the result:

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1366 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192
DVI-I-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VGA-0 connected primary 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 413mm x 234mm 1366x768 59.8*+ 1360x768 60.0 1024x768 75.0 72.0 70.1 60.0 800x600 75.0 72.2 60.3 56.2 640x480 75.0 72.8 59.9 640x400 70.1
DVI-I-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

And sudo lshw -c video:
