Hi James,
I'm pretty sure Xinerama and DRI won't mix - I seem to recall noticing
something saying that in the xorg log when I tried to do it. I'm
using the fglrx drivers with two screens at the moment - here's the
relevant xorg.conf bits (3D acceleration is working on both screens, I
can start up applications on either screen, and maximising a window
works correctly, but I can't drag windows from one screen to another):
Section "Module"
Load "i2c"
Load "bitmap"

Ugh. So, it turns out that when I'd specified different bus IDs for each
of the two cards (lspci shows it as two devices), it decided that
Xinerama hinting was a no-go. If you set it to use the same bus ID, it
works fine.
Still without 3D though. It claims my server is missing DRI, even though
I've got the line in there to load it.
James.
