I guess I don't understand. According to Nvida's web site, <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/object/feature_twinview.html">http://www.nvidia.com/object/feature_twinview.html</a>, twinview allows spanning a desktop (KDE, Gnome, ..) across multiple monitors. If this is the case Nothing ever shows up on my second monitor. What if the second monitor had to be a different resolution? Sorry, this is not making since to me.
