My main graphic card is an i810 and my secondary graphic card is an salvage.
When installing beta 3 I choose to enable the Xinerama extension. While X did
work and often seemed to work right, sometimes applications did not start up
or crashed after a while. Looking the at log I found the following errors
(started pasting from line 936):
[30] 1 0x000003b0 - 0x000003bb (0xc) IS[B](OprU)
[31] 1 0x000003c0 - 0x000003df (0x20) IS[B](OprU)
(WW) I810(0): Direct rendering is not supported when Xinerama is enabled
(EE) I810(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI.
(==) I810(0): Write-combining range (0xf8000000,0x4000000)
(II) I810(0): vgaHWGetIOBase: hwp->IOBase is 0x03d0, hwp->PIOOffset is 0x0000
After disabling Xinerama (in XF86Config-4), my system runs very stable. Until
dri is fixed I suggest not to provide the option to enable Xinerama if there
is an i810 card in the PC.
If you need more information or want me to run some tests, I am willing to
help.
