Nouveau doesn't support anything other than RandR. Most of the server's old Xinerama code is also long gone, but clients can still use the Xinerama extension and RandR will provide the screen geometry info. However, without the proper server-side support for multiple cards driving a single desktop all Xinerama is good for on RandR based drivers is supporting multiple monitors on a *single* card for old clients that only support Xinerama for screen geometry instead of RandR. Any other configuration is likely broken. I don't think anyone is working on multiple cards driving a single desktop so unfortunately your #1 setup is the best you can do on 2 cards for the foreseeable future. _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
