I have a pair of NVidia cards (one PCIe, one PCI) which I do this
with. The key components were:

* Proprietary NVidia driver with TwinView enabled
* Specifying the PCI ID manually in my xorg.conf

What I lack is the ability to merge together the Dual-screen config on
one card with the single screen on the other - so in actual fact I
have 2 Xorg "Displays" and am unable to move windows from one to the
other. That's not a big deal - you just end up adapting your workflow
and keeping discrete apps on that one screen. If I enable Xinerama,
Gnome crashes pretty hard on login.

I have included my Xorg.conf below to give you some starting point. If
you get Xinerama working, I'll be very interested.
