You should also check out NVidias readme, as there are a number of options to tweak twinview. You should be able to make xinerama aware applications think that you are using xinerama. There are also a number of options within kde, if you enable xinerama support from within the control center. While we're on the subject of xinerama, I have not been able to get me second video card to work since I installed the 2.6 kernel. Whatever I do, it just won't initialize the second display. My first display is on a Nvidia GeForce 3 TI 500 (btw. is there any way to get xinerama to work with just this card. I can hook up 2 monitors, but that just mirrors the display. From what I have read the GeForce 3 line does not support twinview) and my second card is a Radeon 9200 SE PCI card. There are a couple errors that I think are the problem. When I use the vesa driver with the Radeon card, I get: (EE) VESA(1): vm86() syscall generated signal 4. which looks to me like the vesa driver is crashing. When I use the radeon driver, I get: (WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:8:0) found which doesn't make sense because there is a Device section for the card. I haven't tried ATI's driver because it looks way too complicated to get working, and I'm not sure if I would have problems compiling it against the 2.6 kernel or if it would conflict with the Nvidia driver at all.
