I tried this, but I cannot get it to work.

I have two monitors and run openbox on each of them. I use the nvidia
proprietary driver that apparently does not use Xinerama/TwinView. This
is the screen section for one monitor from xorg.conf .

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "TwinView" "0"
    Option         "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-0"
    Option         "Stereo" "0"
    Option         "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-0"
    Option         "metamodes" "CRT-0: 1600x1200 +0+0"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Any idea how to get this setup working?
