Well, xinerama works or does not work as a function of your video card 
and the support from XFree.org.  Many cards have multi-screen capability 
but you will never see it in linux because not enough tech info is 
released to write a driver.  A few manufacturers have come to the 
conclusion that the Nicrosoft cow won't always give the milk and have 
been adding to the efforts of XFree.

XFdrake is simply a tool to configure the XF86Config file without 
actually editing it.  As such, it has limitations, because not every 
scenario can be anticipated and if most were, the tool would be very 
unwieldy.

So the answer lies in "maybe" and has more to do with your video card 
driver than any particular distro.
