Hi,
I've managed to successfully make TwinView (2 monitors and 1 nvidia 
card) work. Except, no matter what I do, the spanning seems to be 
backwards viz. Right Monitor to Left instead of Left Monitor to right.
Heres what my xorg.conf(relevant details) looks like this

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "Monitor0"
    VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
    ModelName    "Generic CRT Monitor"
    HorizSync    30 - 60.0
    VertRefresh  50.0 - 130.0
    Option        "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "Monitor1"
    VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
    ModelName    "Dell Ultrascan 17ES"
    HorizSync    30.0 - 78.0
    VertRefresh  50.0 - 130.0
    Option        "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Videocard0"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
    BoardName   "NVIDIA GeForce FX (generic)"
    Option        "TwinView"
    Option        "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30.0 - 60.0"
    Option        "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "50.0 - 130.0"
    Option        "TwinViewOrientation" "Monitor1 RightOf Monitor0"
    Option        "ConnectedMonitor" "Monitor0, Monitor1"
    Option        "MetaModes" 
1280x1024,1280x1024;1024x768,1024x768;800x600,800x600"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Videocard0"
    Monitor    "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth     24
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     16
        Modes    "1280x1024" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
        Modes    "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" 
"640x480"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Also, I'd like to have a screen resolution of greater than 800x600 which 
its not allowing me at present.
