I don't really know what driver modifications are needed to support 3D in Xinerama but there's an alternative. The DMX project (dmx.sf.net) lets you use a collection of X servers as a unified display. The Chromium project (chromium.sf.net) integrates with DMX and lets you do (hardware) OpenGL rendering to a multi-screen display. As a concrete example, you could setup a cluster of 16 computers (each with a graphics card and monitor) to act as one big display which supports 2D via X and 3D via OpenGL. I routinely do this with a 2-screen configuration. -Brian [PS: I'm cc'ing the Mesa3d-dev list since you posted basically the same message there.] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!
