If you have XFree86 installed, then you also have Xinerama installed. In fact it is not possible to install Red Hat Linux with XFree86 and _not_ have Xinerama. The Xinerama client libraries are part of the XFree86-libs package. >libxinerama did exist) It isn't "libxinerama" it is "libXinerama". I'm not 100% certain, however I don't think Nvidia's binary drivers support Xinerama. I seem to recall that they provide multihead support in a different manner "Twinview" if I recall correctly. You may want to verify the exact details with Nvidia's documentation however or with another user who has set this up, in case I'm mistaken. -- Mike A.
