Hey Will.

I'm using multihead insofar as I have a dual head video card with two
monitors hooked up :)  My X config for this looks something like this:

Identifier    "TwinView"
    VendorName    "nvidia"
    Driver        "nvidia"
    BusID         "PCI:1:0:0"
    Option        "RenderAccel" "true"
    Option        "CursorShadow" "1"
    Option        "WindowFlip" "1"
    Option        "NvAGP" "3"
    Option "TwinView"
    Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync"   "31-96"
    Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "55-160"
    Option "TwinViewOrientation"      "RightOf"
    Option "MetaModes"                "1280x960,1280x960; 1024x768,1024x768"
    Option "ConnectedMonitor"         "crt,crt"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
   Identifier  "AGPTwinView"
   Screen      "Screen0"
   InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
   InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
   InputDevice "Generic Mouse"
EndSection


This is taken from an example config in (I think) the nvidia-glx
package.

Details:
OS: Gentoo linux (stable)
Metacity 2.4.34
Gnome virtual package: 2.2.1

The rest of the setup works perfectly, just this one small thing with it
not allowing me to drag to the top area.

I haven't set up for non-twinview, and when I did have xinerama I didn't
like it at all :)
