Therein apparently lies the problem for me. Adobe Flash no longer
works on my machine since adding a second video card. I just tried
Amazon in Firefox 7 and it just sits doing nothing.

I _think_ this is related to using Xinerama on KDE but when I posted
questions here (twice) I got no responses so it seems few people are
doing this. For my futures trading I need 3 or 4 monitors and I
couldn't make sense out of using X without Xinerama so I seem stuck,
at least native in Gentoo. I suspect it's fine in a Windows VM but
I've got Jimmy Kimmel running at the moment so I'll test that later.

I REALLY, REALLY miss having all the OpenGL stuff you get with KDE. I
had it with one Nvidia card but not with two...
