I've never used ati's fireglx drivers so I can't comment on how they work. Plus since they are closed source binary only drivers, opensource developers cannot add any new features. if you want a xinerama like feature, ask ati directly. I maintain the mergedfb functionality in the xfree86

there is a patch for support of the 731 in bugzilla: http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754 No other drivers support roation in hardware at the moment, so it's up to you to implement it from scratch I suspect. Keith Packard did much of the work for xrandr for PDAs. You might want to look at
