Nvidia has a proprietary mode called "TwinView".  It allows you to span
a single desktop across multiple monitors.  I think that's what xinerama
does.  It works great for me and I have no performance issues.

I'm currently using TwinView on a 5.2.1-RELEASE box and a 6.0-STABLE system.
Using a GeForce4 Ti 4200 on the former and a GeForce FX 5700 Ultra on the later.

HTH,
