Weird, I'm running SuSE 9.3 with Kernel 2.6.11.4-21.8-default, and
Nvidia drivers and have no problems (I have a PCI express GeForce 6600
running 2x LG1710S lcds in Xinerama mode, well atleast thats what the
config file says) Ok I had to hack the config file a bit to get it
working, but I'm happy now! (3D is still weird though, I get a small
window in the left screen and the app/game full screen in the right
hand screen - the resolution remains at 1280x1024 with the app taking
up its resolution in the middle)

I hope you don't want 3D accelleration! My last graphics card for my
previous system was a Radeon 9700 pro and I couldn't get any 3D out of
it in Xinerama mode no matter what I tried.
