Default Twinview with 2 GeForce 6200

Hi all,
I have 2 GeForce 6200 cards and 2 DVI monitors. I can't seem to get twinview working, it is grayed out in the nvidia-settings tool. I can only get 2 separate X screens, which is better than only 1 monitor but still a pain..... any ideas?

xorg.conf
Code:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig:  version 1.0  (root@Osprey.cptxoffice.net)  Wed Sep  3 14:30:30 CDT 2008
