If this works, then there's just the issue of telling the system to make the nVidia card the primary one... (and subsequently exchanging the :1 with :0 in the above startx statement) any ideas on that?
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. 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. //Anders
