Interesting. This sounds more like "xinema"(?) than multihead. With
multihead the screens are divided meaning youn't share windows or drag them
across monitors but you can drag-n-click between them.
I have multiple video cards with one monitor per card. I wonder if this
works with XFree86V4.0.
What window manager is he using? Is he running KDE?

My boss is running RedHat 7, and he purchased himself the Matrox G450
(dual-head). He got it set up just fine, X shows it as one continuous
screen. Therefore whatever window manager you run doesn't know it's two
physically different screens. He's got gnome setup with some Fvwm2 cvs
snapshot as the window manager. Works quite well. This is with XFree
4.0.something (whatever RedHat 7 ships with).
