The Xinerama part would beOption "Xinerama" "on"
Option "Clone" "off"in a "ServerLayout" section. The way you have it, the screens might be accessible if you press Ctrl+Alt+F7 and Ctrl+Alt+F8.But are you sure you want to use Xinerama and thereby disable 3D acceleration and compositing? Xrandr is superior if you are using dualhead on the same card.
Hi,i have successfully installed Archlinux on my laptop, everything is fine! Xcfe desktop env. is able to handle dual monitor with the "xinerama" option (move windows between screens) with the "/etc/X11/xorg.conf/10-monitor.conf" config.
Hey there, I currently have 2 nVidia 560's which are both dual monitor. As some of you might know, it seems the only way to run a 4 monitor setup is to run each pair of monitors as their own Twinview, then stitch them together using xinerama. This basically creates two large "screens" that each span two monitors. Unfortunately, xinerama is very old and outdated.
I have the following xorg.conf file, but TwinView is not working for me when using 2 monitors.

Ok, well some more fiddling revealed the solution. It seems you shouldn't specify the Virtual area at all - everything should be left at the default. Here is the updated Screen section that works:Section "Screen"
Identifier "U2412"
Device "G210b"
Monitor "Dell U2412"
Option "MetaModes" &

When you configure the system with dual monitor xinerama, everything works fine exept the notification area, goes crazy when I try to raise or lower the volume for example that flashes across the systray appears on both screens.
I use: ATI Radeon HD 5670, With Ubuntu 11.10 x64 clean, not any strange soft or theme, only ATI driver configured in dual monitor with xinerama.
