TwinView only works with two monitors and only with a single video card.  The 
OP is using three monitors and two video cards so TwinView is not an option.    

I have a dual monitor single card nvidia setup that I currently use with 
xinerama since TwinView does not support per-monitor LUTs (IE. TwinView is not 
suitable for color critical work) and I have not noticed any performance 
issues with xinerama vs. TwinView.  What is missing with xinerama is the 
ability to dynamically resize the displays.
