twinview merges the two screens in the driver
save yourself the pain, sudo nvidia-settings and use the happy gui
then set them up as seperate screens.
i have personally set up a machine with 8 screens (4 dual head hards)
with current nvidia hardware. what you are after is achievable!

Hi
I've been beating my head against this for many hours now (and not the
first time either), trawling through endless Google results, howto's
manuals, and hints, and still no further. I am trying to get multiple
monitors (just 2 for now, 3 eventually) going using a two-head GeForce
8600 card. I also have a GeForce 7100 in the same system. At this stage
I don't care what card/outputs are used to achieve the desired outcome.
I can get multiple monitors going with Nvidia's TwinView, except windows
maximise to the full desktop width, instead of just one monitor - which
is real annoying. I used to have this running on Ubuntu Fiesty (it may
have been Dapper, not sure, but I was also running E17 at the time) - I
am now running standard Gutsy (except for binary nvidia drivers - the
latest).
Any hints/urls/comments that are helpful/funny or otherwise would be
much appreciated. Failing this, my next port of call is to join the xorg
lists/forums and ask there.
