Quoth Carlos R. Mafra,
I don't have a multi-head setup myself, is it possible to duplicate with
Xnest? How does one go about testing this?
Yeah, I would like to know too. I don't have a xinerama setup.
IN THEORY you can do the following:
Xephyr -screen 720x900 -ac :1 &
Xephyr -screen 720x900 -ac :2 &
Xdmx +xinerama -display :1 -display :2 -ac :3
You may need to add -noglxproxy to the Xdmx invocation if none of
your windows are visible.
If you don't have Xephyr you can try:
Xnest -geometry 720x900 -ac :1 &
Xnest -geometry 720x900 -ac :2 &
And if you also don't have Xdmx you may be able to get Xnest to do
Xinerama for you:
Xnest +xinerama -geometry 720x900 -depth 24 -scrns 2 -ac :3
However I tested Xdmx on Fedora 10, Fedora 11 and Ubuntu 9.04. In
each case it segfaulted immediately. This is a known bug with the
latest Xdmx code, apparently. I managed to get Fedora Core 6's Xephyr
to work on a Fedora 11 system. Xnest was much less stable.
I'll have a look at rebasing some of my patches, ie the Xinerama
ones, against git next.
