No.  This is one of the issues with TwinView the other known issue is that it 
does not correctly support the XVidModeExtension API which means that you can 
not calibrate your monitors correctly since you can not set the video card 
gamma table for the second monitor (actually it is worse since it uses the 
same gamma table for both).
