Found a solution for debian lenny at

Guess until someone fixes xinerama, we're stuck using older xorgs.
I adapted the instructions above for ubuntu jaunty:

Since upgrading my ubuntu install (and breaking my multi head xmonad setup), I've been reading a lot about how xinerama is broken for newer xorgs, and is deprecated in favor of xrandr (which doesn't handle multi-head on more than one card). Looks like my only option is to revert back to ubuntu 8.04, or dump some screens. How are you dealing with this? Has anyone found a workaround?
You can use Matrox's {Dual,Triple}Head2Go [1] in order to connect multiple monitors to one graphics card. Afterwards, LayoutScreens [2] is your friend.
