I'l have todo some reading. Are you talking about rander, mode swiching?
I'm talking about simultanious FB(s) on more than one monitor, as a static
mode(for argument).

The original(abriged) Idea is fine, I was just pointing out that it didn't
realy fix my problem. This new idea is just too diffrent from the old for
me to comment, as I don't see what problem it fixes. However is you were
to add in -geometry style 2048x768,1024x768+0+0,1024x768+0+768 it might be
more usefull.
