this is a part of my xorg.conf device section: Option "ConnectedMonitor" "dfp, dfp" Option "NoPowerConnectorCheck" Option "TwinView" "1" Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-70" Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "50-130" Option  "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf"

Also make sure both monitors are defined in your xorg. BTW the new nvidia beta drivers now fully support twinview.

hahahahahaha lol, your funny but sooo wrong, what you actualy see on this video is the both monitors but you only don't see the line in between them, just look at the maximized sticky windows, they stick in the middle of the video screen, thats one side from the monitor.

hahahahaha

how did you make to have only 1 cube in 2 monitors? I have 2 monitors in twinview and Iwhen I configure 4 workspaces, I actualy get on each monitor one cube with 8 faces.

I'm like WTF????

Uh I fail to see how you consider this twinview.. That would entail 2 monitors throughout this long drawn out boring video I see a whole 1 X screen, where is the second X screen that would actually make this a twinview xorg setup?

I have written a howto on beryls forum I have also written and posted scripts there as well that build the newest beryl and install nvidia drivers, do a search for posts by TheeMahn

I also have to make customer backgrounds that are double the width of one screen because I am unable to set seperate background images for each screen. I notice that you do not appear to have this problem. Is there a specific version of XGL that I have to use, or do I have to do something to my xorg.conf?

Hey, I have XGL running on my 2 flatscreens with twinview and it works fine for the most part. The only problem is that it's not recognizing that there are 2 screens so when I maximize a window it spans across both screens.
