I am running similar hardware with similar drivers in a dual head (twinview) setup with no issues as described now or ever in the past. I use two 1680x1050 displays connected via DVI cables. Package versions are below but are the standard testing packages. I don't run KDE, just XMonad and xcompmgr.

Thank you Mike, I'm running 1920x1200 primary and 1680x1050 secondary. I wonder if the difference in size is causing problems now where in the past it did not? Otherwise, our hardware is very close: lspci | grep GeForce 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] (rev a1) And I'm just running the current software: pacman -Qi nvidia | grep Version Version : 270.30-3 pacman -Qi kernel26 | grep Version Version : 2.6.37.5-1 -- David C.
