Thanks for the link. It talks about a NVidia card using their binary drivers (which is what we finally ended up doing).
I used the standard nv driver with etch. Dual head with one samsung @ 1024x768 and one tv @ 800x600. The samsung monitor has failed and i havent had time to look at it, hence the XF86config-4 file is not available at the moment. The limitation was that i could not get console on the tv. X worked with independent desktops as well as one large desktop. this was a year and half ago.
When I posted, I was try to a xinerama setup using a laptop with it's onboard Intel graphics chip. We got the setup to work halfway, the display would come up on the main monitor only stating low memory issue. We changed the res. to 800x600 but still it would not work. The system bios was allocating a fixed 8M memory - not dynamic/changeable.
Afaik 32 mb must be allocated for twinhead
