It's really not hard to do. Lots of good tutorials on google. Search for
xinerama. Basically, with 2 cards and 2 monitors, it's just extra lines in
xorg.conf or whatever your X config file is. You'll probably want things
like Gnome or KDE and X11 compiled with xinerama support. I think a lot of
binary distros have it included by default. If you use gentoo, just add
"xinerama" to your USE flags in /etc/make.conf before you install said
applications.
The gentoo tutorial mentioned before is good. I am a fan of gentoo, best
distro ever. :)
