Relevant sections only, below. I'm not sure if the physical monitor sections
are actually used or not. Note that xinerama is actually disabled. IIRC, it
works because the nvidia driver implements the xinerama extensions already,
so xorg's xinerama must be disabled, but X clients will of course still need
to have xinerama enabled to use it.
