As I thought, there'd be an issue with the USB connection to the nvidia emitter, i.e. how does the driver know which one to use? http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2010-June/050612.html If it had been a nuvision style emitter with just the 3 pin min din connector, I could see how it might be possible since all you need to worry about is the sync signal and you can specify which video device (card) goes to which monitor(s) in xorg.conf, but I think there's some other data transfer going on via the USB cable with the nvidia emitters. I know the driver definitely detects the presence of the emitter through the USB cable. However, that was posted a while back, so you can ask [email protected] if there's been an update in the driver to allow such a setup. The easiest way to get stereo with a multi-seat config would be to use Zalman polarized stereo. Everything is done in software so it should just work as long as your xorg.conf is setup properly.
