It works with xinerama, allowing window dragging across all screens, but the performance isn't great. I'm waiting for a new version of randr/x.org, so they support multiple monitor spanning across multiple gpus, and i can dump xinerama. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=840063 I have a three monitor setup at home, with two identical geforce cards.

I have three monitors, two connected to a matrox dualhead2go unit, and I have been able to get two working off the matrox, or two working without it, but not all three. I am looking forward to this.

TwinView doesn't work since it only creates one large screen that consists of all the desktops added together. Once you have different XServers running you can simply rotate via `xrandr -o [left|right|normal|etc]`. I have a similar setup with two TFTs; both of which can be rotated. I am using TwinView at the moment, though, since seperate X's don't allow dragging a window to the other screen.
