This is odd. I am currently using Twinview with dual monitor and it is
working just fine.

What is very likely is one of two situtions:

1) Your XF86Config-4 is incorrect. Ensure you have your MetaModes configured
correctly. Please see my attached file.

2) Your Window Manager is forcing placement. This is impolite - but hey,
it's your WM. Which one are you using?

Scott.
