[SLUG] Xorg Multiple Monitors

[Phil Scarratt <fil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I've been beating my head against this for many hours now (and not the 
first time either), trawling through endless Google results, howto's 
manuals, and hints, and still no further. I am trying to get multiple 
monitors (just 2 for now, 3 eventually) going using a two-head GeForce 
8600 card. I also have a GeForce 7100 in the same system. At this stage 
I don't care what card/outputs are used to achieve the desired outcome. 
I can get multiple monitors going with Nvidia's TwinView, except windows 
maximise to the full desktop width, instead of just one monitor - which 
is real annoying. I used to have this running on Ubuntu Fiesty (it may 
have been Dapper, not sure, but I was also running E17 at the time) - I 
am now running standard Gutsy (except for binary nvidia drivers - the 
latest).

Any hints/urls/comments that are helpful/funny or otherwise would be 
much appreciated. Failing this, my next port of call is to join the xorg 
lists/forums and ask there.
