You'll need to run the binary nvidia-driver (~ports/x11/nvidia-driver)
for this to work. Once that works, the xorg.conf-entries are rather
simple:
# see /usr/X11R6/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0 for nVidia-specific docs
Section "Device"
Identifier "NV AGP"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "TwinView" "on"
Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024,1280x1024"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "28-64"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf" # Or RightOf
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "NV AGP"
Monitor "samsung"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubsection
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout 1"
Screen "Screen 1"
InputDevice "Mouse 1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard 1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
The screen-section sets up the primary display, the other is set
up with the SecondMonitorXXXXXXX-options in the Device Section.
ServerLayout sets the screen-section to use.
