   AFAIK the Quadro uses the same driver as the the GeForce series,
and should accept the same options.  If that's the case you should be
able to do something like this in your XF86Config:

Section "Device"
        Identifier   "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX"
        Driver       "nvidia"
        VendorName   "PNY"
        BoardName     "GeForce 2 MX"

        Option "TwinView" "true"
        Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
        Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT, CRT"
        Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "31-82"
        Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "55-120"
        Option "UseEdidFreqs" "true"
        Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024, 1280x1024"
EndSection


   This is from a workstation running dual CRTs as a single desktop,
using nVidia's binary driver build #4496.  The rest of the config
looks just like a single monitor setup, specifying the "First" (in
this case, left) monitor in the Monitor and Screen sections.  There is
no mention of Xinerama in this file, as the driver handles both
outputs and presents X with a single large (eg. 2560x1024) display.
   The only Xinerama consideration you'll have is your window
manager.  nVidia devices will work with Xinerama enabled WMs to handle
window placement, sizing, etc.  Using a non-Xinerama WM with multiple
displays is a strange cross between humor and pain.
