I'm running @ 1280 x 1024 on both screens. No instability problems as long
as I use Enlightenment as my Window Manager and don't run GnomeICU. The
later is the only one I'm concerned with.

I don't believe so (on the second head anyway, but I'm assuming you want
the same resolution on both)

This is called Xinerama. All you have to do is have two Monitor, Screen,
and Device sections. The key with the G400 is that you just use the same
BusID for both Device sections (the docs say you need seperate IDs for
each card).
There is a mini HOWTO on Xinerama that explains it quite well. Also if you
search the archives on moongroup.com you will find a recent thread on
this.
I personally had a lot of instability and canned it (for now).
