If i understand: Cygwin/XFree86 uses the Windows and/or the Cygwin layers; and, Xinerama is a hardware layer... Is it a lack of Cygwin and/or Window, if this feature cannot be implemented in XFree86 ? Is it a problem of performance ? > From what I know about Xinerama (and I could be missing something about > Xinerama) it has absolutely no application to Cygwin/XFree86. Most applications (window manager, ...) simulate this feature: but, I suppose that a direct access to the low level interface is more efficient... a+
