I like Option 1. but either is ok with me. Also, FWIW, a lot of the other mergedfb code could/should be moved into a general mergedfb lib. Stuff like pseudo-xinerama could be folded into the real xinerama extension. some of this work may already be done for the OSX port. Also how would clone modes and head orientation be handled in this model? Perhaps a clone mode of each supportable res on each monitor would be automatically added? I'm not sure what the best way to handle that is.
