Hmm... Two cards of different makes and Xinerama - Not something I've
had much contact/dealings with I have to say. One thing that did strike
me though is that you make no use of 'Int10', thus all POSTing for the
second card is currently being done through the nvidia kernel module.
Could be a point of conflict/problems or maybe not, however you may wish
to look at 'Int10' usage or ask around about this e.g. on the forums
linked to from nvidia's GNU/Linux driver page.
