Hi,
Is anyone here using TwinView with NVIDIA graphics drivers under
CentOS 5? Just tried this configuration (I've been using dual monitors
as separate X screens in the past), and while it works in a sense,
there are a few issue that will probably prevent me from using it for
real. Notably, which screen new applications start on (when using the
Applications menu or panel launchers) seems to be quite arbitrary. I
expect windows to open on whichever screen I initiated their creation,
I suppose, but they will often appear on the other one. This is using
the GNOME desktop.
Another slight issue is with the notification icons. I really want to
display duplicates of these, so I can view them on both screens, but
is seems like the Notification Area doesn't work this way, i.e. it
will never display more than one of each icon even when there are
several instances of the area. But this is a problem I also have when
using separate X screens.
So, what are other people's experiences with a dual monitor setup?

Toralf,
I have two systems both running nvidia twinview and gnome.
My experience with opening apps is that it appears totally random - it
is somewhat related to the window least used, but each time I think I
have it figured out it does something else.
As my xorg.conf is basically the same on both - this may be the reason
for identical behavior.
I do not recall how I got them setup initially about two years ago - it
was a nightmare, thus I keep a copy of xorg.conf and use it.
My reading on xorg.conf seems to support the view that this file's setup
is black art / black magic. I also understand that some devices can now
bypass this ....... i.e keyboard and mouse ..... no logical design in place.
