After some work, I managed to get Gnome to come up on both screens of a dual-head system, using the built-in Intel video and an older NVidia card. Problem is, instead of one contiguous desktop, I get two separate desktops. I can move the mouse pointer between them, but I can't drag windows over.
Also, when I try to run gnome-display-properties, X instantly crashes. The xorg logfile says:
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
Any ideas? My xorg.conf follows.
