If you go to the Nvidia web site and search for dual head there are 2 documents, one for working in Cinerama mode where you have one large desktop, in this mode 3D acceleration is not possible.
I haven't read the nVidia docs, but I know you can have 3D acceleration with TwinView. nVidia does it all their own way with what they call TwinView. To set up TwinView with your card: - log out of KDE/GNOME, i.e. to the login - switch to a text mode console, e.g. ALT-F1 - log in as root - issue 'init 3' to shut down X11 - call sax2 -m 0=nvidia -b /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/profile/NVidia_Twinview AFAIK, this requires identical monitors/displays attached to the card.
