It should be clear how they would work together, but the blurring between physical resolutions and root window sizes coupled with an incomplete implementation results in the current situation. >I suppose there are two underlying problems for RANDR: >1 X says that the clients can assume that the >screen resolution and depth will not change; and >2 XINERAMA aims to hide the fact that there are multiple heads >from the clients. I'd like to see it possible to change all of the currently static connection block information at run-time. The dynamic configuration infrastructure that I'm working on, combined with a minor revision bump of the X11 protocol will address all of these issues and more. If the original poster needs randr+xinerama now, he'll likely have some work to do.
