twinview advertisies screen info via xinerama.
there are 2 sides to xinerama.
1. server-side.
yes twinview is used instead of xinerama here. xineram aas such is for
binding multiple and even different gfx cards together into 1 big screen. it
literally does the same operation on ALL cards at the same time (draw line,
past bitmap, draw rect, etc.) and just moves the root window around to only see
part of it on that car's video output.
2. client-side.
twinview STILL advertises a xinerama screenset to x clients. e queries and
xinerama says "hey - i have multiple screens here...". unless he DISABLED the
advertising of xinerama info with twinview - it will be advertised by default.
as per the nvidia readme:
Option "NoTwinViewXineramaInfo" "boolean"
When in TwinView, the NVIDIA X driver normally provides a Xinerama
extension that X clients (such as window managers) can use to discover the
current TwinView configuration, such as where each display device is
positioned within the X screen. Some window mangers get confused by this
information, so this option is provided to disable this behavior. Default:
false (TwinView Xinerama information is provided).
