I would like to stay with Nvidia cards if at all possible, partly because I need good hardware 3D on at least one screen and partly because I know where I can grab a really good dualhead Nvidia card really cheap.
Does your existing Nvidia card have dual outputs? and are you using the non-free driver? If yes, then use Twinview as it works outside of X and basically presents a single large screen (AIUI) which just acts as a normal single display (albeit over 2 screens). The other method using Xinerama involves configuring 2 seperate cards and then glueing the 2 displays together (I think). I've only ever used the former method, which worked very well and seamlessly (and this was 3 years ago now).
Thanks Adam
