Ok, there we go.
I have a nvidia gi4200. This single card has connectors for both a
analog and digital screen. According to Linux (SuSE 9.x,10.x) this is
NOT a multihead configuration.

What I want is to be able to use this card in the same way as in
windows 'Expand the desktop to this screen' where I am then able to
move f.i. my outlook to the 2nd screen and keep on working on the 1st
without interference.

With me so far?

The only thing I have so far been able to do is have xwindows clone
the 1st screen to the second one which would be very good when giving
a presentation and have people look at the second screen.

Unfortunately this is not what I want or need.

I have already made the changes to the xorg.conf as proposed by the
redhat article (otherwise I wouldn't have the clone).

Have you tried the Xinerama howto from tldp.org? I have used it in the
past - I found it to be definitive and easy to understand.
