Well, I think I may have found the problem but can't seem to find a fix to test my theory. Xorg is loading Xinerama and I've found some noise via google that there is a 'nvidia-xinerama' that is faster than the native 'xorg-xinerama'. I've tried disabling xinerama in my Xorg conf file but it loads anyways. Attached is my xorg.log -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel
