Default Re: Nvidia and twin view - seems to work, but blank screen?

I run two monitors of different resolutions on an nVIDIA 6600, as two separate X screens. You might find my (edited for space) xorg.conf useful.

Code:
                                                                    

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Layout[all]"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    Screen      1  "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer"    
    Option         "Clone" "off"               
    Option         "Xinerama" "off"            
EndSection
