I am using Nvidia's TwinView/Xinerama in XF86Config-4: Option "NvAGP" "1" Option "TwinView" "true" Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30.0-75.0" Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "50.0-85.0" Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024, 1280x1024; 1280x1024, 1280x1024;" Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf" Option "Xinerama" "on"
(in "Screen" section), and it works exactly as Lennart describes (panels on one screen etc.). I haven't managed to play any games apart from tuxracer yet, but it presents a problem in the fact that the game displays at 640x480 (or 800x600 i think) in between the two screens, so half the game is on the First VDU (video display unit), the other half is on the Second VDU.
