Hi Viksit, There is a good chance that you are going into unexplored territory here :-) I am quite sure that getting accelerated 3D to work will be difficult. For vanilla X, you might be able to get it to work. Looking into DMX could be helpful. Since you want to mix nVidia with another display, TwinView and Xineram extensions will probably not work.

No one seems to have tried it with an Intel and an Nvidia card. (My Nvidia is a viper 770, which was lying around somewhere, and the Intel is a 945G) Further, out of the possible options - Xinerama, MergedFB, BigDesktop and TwinView - might anyone have recommendations based on experiences on which is most suitable?
