i've just noted that one:
Before the Radeon based card i had a GeForce2.
For that one i used the propritary nvidia driver.
I was not sure anymore if i had DRI support with the GeForce2 but i just
made a test.
With the GeForce2 card i was able to play "Enemy Territory" without
problems. But i am unable to do so with the Radeon card since i get
messages about missing hardware acceleration (as expected).
In bose cases i had a Xinerama setup together with the PCI Matrox
Millenium card.

So this seems like it is possible to use DRI even in Xinerama mode.
But probably i am overseeing something?

I don't want to bother around with this, i am just trying to find a
chance of getting DRI support on my first screen with that Radeon card
and still be able to use Xinerama.

Thanks again!
