I've used two dual setups: a Matrox Millenium G400 dual card, and two
seperate cards. I never used or wanted Xinerama as my monitors were
different sizes. As I recall, blackbox didn't need to be told anything
except that I specified the DISPLAY value when launching apps from
.xsession. Blackbox & bbkeys knew which monitor was active by the
mouse pointer. Each screen had its own bbpager. The one thing you
couldn't do was drag a window from one screen to the other.
Here's how I'd start troubleshooting:
1. Check your X error log just in case it shows something useful. I
went through a lot of stuff to get xine working with my Matrox card,
but the dual setup was never an issue.
2. Temporarily use a minimal .xinitrc (or .xsession, etc) that only
starts blackbox, then work up.
Here's a sample XF86Config from X Free 4.x, and a sample .xsession
