Two things: first, the :1 and :0 is counting X servers, not graphics cards. The first server you start, if you don't say differently, will be called :0 and the second will be :1.
Ah... But I'm not thinking about having the two x-servers running concurrently... that would be asking for way more trouble than I'm up for... I'm thinking "Leave X entirely, (going to RL3) and *then* start the 'gaming-X-config'..." To get the two cards going with xinerama, I had to tell nVidia to relax, and forget about high bitrates/3D that sort of thing... So starting a second X-server with all that enabled... I don't think so ;)
second, I have an AGP nvidia card and a PCI matrox card (just one monitor, that's why I haven't tested xinerama yet) and for me which card is primary is selected by the BIOS. In my bios I have a setting called (from memory) "init AGP first" (or something very similar) and if I check that the nvidia card is primary, if it's unchecked the matrox card is primary.
Now there's a thought... "go check if the BIOS has options like that..." <feeling stupid> finishes message, shuts down, goes to check... </feeling stupid> :-P Jon
