If I only use the monitors attached to a single card, then I don't need Xinerama, and can use Nvidia's driver's multi-head stuff, which works nicely. However as soon as you throw two (or more) video cards into the mix, Xinerama appears to be the only option.
Is that historical or current? My memory matches Rohan's: that Xinerama has pretty much been gone for years (since about the xf86->xorg transition, I guess). I'd check, but I got rid of all my computers :-)
Current as of Xorg 7.6 at least, which is reasonably recent..
