That's pretty much what mine looks like, except that I'm in a disjoint 
setup.  No xinerama/dualview.  It was working under xorg 1.7 btw, 
although it somehow magically got removed, but that's outside of this 
scope.  I can post my config, but I think I might try adding the 
pre-release as a mirror and pull in all the suggests and recommends.  I 
just pulled down the packages I needed to cover dependencies and 
installed them manually.
