I have gotten TwinView to work in the past but had to abandon it for
several reasons:
1. Important: I use vmware and vmware doesn't play nice with
TwinView.
2. Important: I also use rdesktop to access Win32 boxen via Remote
Desktop. That doesn't play nice with TwinView.
3. Not So Important: Most full-screen games don't play nice with
TwinView.
But most importantly, and I don't know the cause of this... when using
the nvidia driver, and my Samsung Syncmaster 191T+ monitor on the DVI
output of my card I would get an occasion flicker or ripple roll across
the screen.
So I dumped TwinView and just run one monitor on the analog signal.
Anyhow, attached you will find a copy of my XF86Config file that did
give me a working TwinView setup. Hope it helps.
