Back on Aug. 4 of this year, I had posted this exact question under the thread of "Bugs with Dual Head?" After searching my archives, it appears that all of the responses were sent to me off list.... However, the answer to me at that time was the only way to achieve this (two configs for dual headed screens) was to run two sessions as two different users otherwise, both screens read the same configs resulting in the odd behavior noted in this thread (and by me as well :) Further digging at the nVidia message board for Linux users turned up a known bug in their drivers preventing nVidia users from launching two X-servers to different screens. This will be fixed in a future release. (I was using the Twinview features of the nVidia driver) I saw that someone concerned with this thread posted their xconfig file and it contained the nVidia driver. This bug will rear its head once you reach the conclusion that e will need to run as two users to use separate configuration. Unless the e developers have a way of specifying separate configs for separate screens. I was told back in August to not hold my breathe.
