I am running similar hardware with similar drivers in a dual head
(twinview) setup with no issues as described now or ever in the past.
I use two 1680x1050 displays connected via DVI cables. Package
versions are below but are the standard testing packages. I don't run
KDE, just XMonad and xcompmgr.

$ lspci | grep GeForce
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce
8600 GT] (rev a1)

$ pacman -Qi nvidia | grep Version
Version        : 270.30-4

$ pacman -Qi kernel26 | grep Version
Version        : 2.6.38.1-1

Regards,

Mike
