[SLUG] TwinView 3D Problem

After agonizing minutes of getting twinview set up on my PNY GeForce 4 Ti
4200-64-8x, I noticed that any 3D-accelerated game that's supposed to be
"full screen" shows up only halfway on the far-right-hand-side of the
right-most monitor. It also shows up halfway on the far left-hand-side of
the left-most monitor, but as a greyed-out window with black contents. It
does not show the "other half" of the game.

The monitor orientation has monitor 1 plugged into a dvi-vga adapter, and
monitor two is set up "LeftOf" on the original vga port. This
configuration with nearly the same XF86Config worked great in SuSE 9 and
did not have this problem. (It's set up like this because the right-hand
monitor is clearly the brighter/better of the two, and I spend most of my
time on it.)

For a moment or two, I thought I had erred in my twinview configuration.
However, the 2D view is perfect. I'm gonna include my XF86Config below for
closer scrutiny. I'm using fedora core 1 with apt-rpm and the latest
nvidia drivers. Everything EXCEPT the position of the 3D-accelerated games
is fine, in that they are clearly accelerated and not choppy or otherwise
distorted.

Anybody got a clue? I'm desperate to play the UT2004 demo!
