I can't really answer that, other than that I've used it for the last
week with both systems running X Server v1.17.4 (though the one system
did run v1.14.3 up until yesterday), and it hasn't given me any problems
thus far.

I don't know x2x - how is that different to Xdmx?
With Xdmx you can combine up to 16 computers, and where you designate a
single "master" computer. The "master" is where I sit with a keyboard
and mouse. My usable desktop (thanks to xinerama) is the combination of
all screen resolutions put together. I can also arrange the screens in
any configuration.
eg:
1 - 2 - 3 - 4
or
1 - 2
3 - 4
etc.
The IBM link I listed in my previous email has some screenshots of
various screen layouts.
>From what you describe, x2x seems to do similar, but maybe uses a
different network protocol or something? Tonight I'll try and read up on
x2x too.

Graeme
