No, the DRM would have to register one device per screen. > I am not looking to get Xinerama working at the moment (leave that for later). That would be much more complex and difficult, and I suspect traditional dualhead with a shared device is about the same. The most straightforward way for a shared device would probably be to (ab)use the CloneDisplay stuff to emulate two separate screens. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility Learn to use your power at OSDN's High Performance Computing Channel http://hpc.devchannel.org/ _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
