dividing screens in x


hi,

i used to run a twinview configuration on a dual-head nvidia geforce4. this allowed me to run one session on 2 screens with window resistance betwen the two displays (so maximizing a window on one screen would make it fill both, cool feature). i recently added another video card to add a third display.

i've still got 2 screens; one on the new card (an ATI rage 2 pro) and one screen spread across both of the heads on my nvidia card. is there a way i can get three screens so that the window resistance support between the two displays on my nvidia card comes back.

these are the relevent segments of my XF86Config-4 file:

window resistance is where windows will stick to the edge of the current screen when they are being dragged from one monitor to the next. it's the term used in the configs of KDE 3.2. i think it would work if i could just divide the screen that fills the two monitors attached to the nvidia card in two somehow.
