(Not a reply really, but related).
Does anyone know of any good howtos for setting up Xinerama on a
dual-head Radeon 8500? (Yes I've tried Google, and it's helped but
obviously not completely) My config works once in a while, but obviously
isn't quite correct because it doesn't always work, and never has worked
as expected (i.e. I've not been able to correctly get the correct
monitor to be monitor 1, monitor 2, etc., plus it's messed up stuff like
fonts so that I have to switch between 6 and 8 pt. all the time)
Here's my XF86Config:

Monitor0 is a Sony MultiscanG200, plugged into the DVI port with the
little VGA-DVI adapter and generally it's worked fine despite config
file changes. Monitor1 is a Dell D1025TM, plugged into the VGA, and
whatever I do to change the config file it gives me an 'OUT OF SCAN
RANGE' error. Any help y'all can give me is much appreciated- rare that
something works so easily in Windows but gives me all this Linux
trouble... :(
Also, does anyone know if DRI is supported with Xinerama on the Radeons
in any of the XFree snapshots or in CVS? Not really necessary, because
I can just switch to singlehead to game, but it would be nice to not
have to do that.
