Hi,

in my DualHead (provided by Xorg) Setup, I use

       Option          "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0"
       Screen          0

       Option          "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-1"
       Screen          1

while in TwinView (provided by the NVidia drivers) I use

       Option          "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0, CRT-1"
.

I suppose this should solve your problem, too.

Especially, it is quite nice for creating multi monitor desktops.

Greetings,

Christoph
