Here's one that I use with an NVidia 900XGL card (same driver you should
be using).

Note that with NVidia, you're going to have to download and install
their proprietary (and closed source) "nvidia" X driver package to get
twinview to work.  The "nv" open source driver doesn't support a lot of
NVidia chipsets, and it doesn't support twinview at all.

Cheers!
