yep. but you have to xinerama/twinview the 2 monitors together to one "screen".

looks good.

i would add this:

    Option "TwinView" "1"
    Option "TwinViewOrientation" "DFP-1 LeftOf DFP-0"
    Option "MetaModes" "DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select,DFP-1:
nvidia-auto-select; DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select,DFP-1:NULL;
DFP-0:NULL,DFP-1:nvidia-auto-select;"

(or something that reflects your attached monitors). the idea is to
provide here "one" device that has multiple monitors connected to it.
but treat it as one device.

> Section "Screen"
>     Identifier     "Screen0"
>     Device         "Device0"

and this would pick the setting from above up. should work.

for fluxbox itself: you need the xinerama-option to be compiled in.

hope it helps,
cheers,
