I have xinerama working with Openbox (3.1) on an NVidia system.  There 
used to be problems where when you selected an openGL window, the first 
display would be mirrored until you selected something else (roughly 
speaking).  But in the most recent driver versions that problem seems to 
have gone away.  It may also have to do with exactly which graphics card 
is installed, since the card and driver were updated simultaneously.
