6800 and Twinview under SuSE

I have succesfully installed the latest nvidia drivers (6629) with 3d support (DoomIII and UT2004 run great). Now i want to enable Twinview in clone mode so i can watch some of my movies in my connected tv set. I have read many threads here and in other forums but had no luck in configuring my XF86Config file. Here it is

I'm wondering the exact same thing...I want to enable dualhead on my 6800 GT... but when I put the check in the box and try to apply the changes nothing happens....I can't apply them. Kinda sucks. Is there something special I'm I'm missing?

Read the nVidia documentation. It has a few examples how to enable TwinView.
