Can you finish off the thread by posting detailed how to please.:)
 
Of course.

I have made a portupgrade to xorg-server-1.6.0
Then i installed to nouveau driver port: /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau/
You also need xrandr-1.3.0 or at least 1.2

Here are the relevant parts from xorg.conf

Code: 
Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "X.org Configured"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "Monitor0"
	VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
	ModelName    "Monitor Model"
	Option	     "PreferredMode" "1280x1024"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "Monitor1"
	VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
	ModelName    "Monitor Model"
	Option	     "PreferredMode" "1920x1080"
	Option	     "LeftOf" "DVI-3"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Card0"
	Driver      "nouveau"
	VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
	BoardName   "Unknown Board"
	BusID       "PCI:2:0:0"
	Option	    "Randr12" "true"
	Option	    "monitor-DVI-0"	"Monitor0"
	Option	    "monitor-DVI-1"	"Monitor1"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier 	"Screen0"
	DefaultDepth 	24
	SubSection 	"Display"
	Depth 	24
	EndSubSection
	Device     	"Card0"
EndSection

Note that the monitor-DVI options can varite depending on other systems, of course. If you want to
see your output devices just type "xrandr" and adjust these settings. You can also set the dual view after
X startet:
Code: 
xrandr --output DVI-3 --right-of DVI-1
But then i was unable to move windows in the right corner of the secondary screen. So it's better to make this
in xorg.conf like in the above config.

Best regards.
