Well currently I have software 3D on both heads, and movies only play on the first head because of some direct draw thing that just doesn't like xinerama (probably due to the way xinerama works, it's not writing to the window on both screens). So, having hardware 3D on head #1 and software on head #2 is still a step up. And that way I can play games *and* keep my request tracker window visible at the same time, and feign work ;-) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
