I am complete newbie trying to set up arch. I have xorg awesome, and nvidia drivers installed. When I get into awesome, my main screen is fine but my monitor to my right is completely black. I can mouse over to it and my cursor changes to a black X with white outline. Just like it was on a fresh xorg install when you mouse the desktop. I tried looking at the arch and awesome wiki but nothing seems to be working.
I am using DVI for both monitors.
xrandr gives this:
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
DVI-I-0 disconnected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-I-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-I-2 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 531mm x 299mm
1920x1080 60.00*+
1680x1050 59.95
1600x1200 60.00
1440x900 74.98 59.89
1280x1024 75.02 60.02
1280x960 60.00
1280x800 59.81
1152x864 75.00

Well, nothing is running on the other screen. Try:
env DISPLAY=:0.1 awesome
env DISPLAY=:1 awesomeThe value depends on your setup.

Thanks that worked I just typed it into console must have been a typo first time. I have to keep the console open in order for the "navbar" thing on the second screen to be open is there anywhere I can add that so it does it upon starting?

Your ~/.xinitrc maybe? Remember to add " &" at the end of the line.
