I'm planning on being there, to help and ask for help.

I've run into a problem with "TwinView", a Multiple monitor otion on 
XFree86Config using SuSE 9.1.  I bought an HP Pavilion zd7168cl laptop 
that has  nVidia GeForce FX Go5600 with, of course, an external VGA port.  
Right now, I only get a clone of the laptop display on the external CRT.  
I really want an extended desktop.  [Of course, the dark side does it.]  
The nVidia website does talk about both TwinView and Xinerama.  So far, 
I've only tried the TwinView because it has the advantage of one X-window 
spanning both devices.

I have also posted on the SuSE-e list, but have received just pointers to 
docs that have helped.  Here is one of my posts that gives more details:

I just installed 9.1 Pro on my new HP Pavilion after repartitioning, 
reverting to FAT32 and reinstalling XP.  Connecting a second monitor to 
the VGA socket works either as a clone of the first display, or as an 
extended desktop (my desired mode), on XP but not SuSE.  Using YOU got me 
up to date nVidia drivers, but only a clone display.  Running `XFree86 
-scanpci' shows one adapter, and SaX2 says only a single monitor is 
possible.  If it can be done on the dark side, shouldn't it also work here?

Details:
Dual Boot, SUSE 9.1 Pro (very little server stuff) and W_XP
Laptop: HP Pavilion zd7168cl
Graphics Adapter: nVidia GForce FX Go5600
Display (per HP): 17.0 inch WXGA+ WA TFT (1440x900), 6x9 aspect ratio
Display (per XaS2): VESA 1280x1024 @ 60Hz, size 270 x 200mm
Actual size 360mm wide x 230mm high

I did find an example of a Toshiba config file for TwinView, and it has 
only a single Monitor and Device defined.  That makes sense since there is 
only one PCI BusID available.
