NVidia's TwinView stuff has some Xinemara support/emulation. I attach
an xorg.conf I used with my old samsung notebook which had a nvidia
card, too. There, it worked ok, i.e. when starting X and a second
monitor was attached, windows did maximize only to the size of the
current monitor. But plugging/unplugging monitors while X is up and
running didn't work.
Since some time I have a laptop with intel card and free drivers, and
xrandr works just beautiful. I wouldn't buy a laptop which forces you
to use non-free drivers anymore. :-)
Bye,
