Thanks for the reply, Shane.
It appears that you're right. But it also appears that using MergedFB
will do approximately the same thing, as will using the fglrx
"BigDesktop" thing. These pages have some brief info on the subject:
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/MergedFB
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/MergedFB
So yeah, it seems that I can get the desired outcome, but I can't use
Xinerama.
I'm a bit short on time to tinker with it atm, but I'll give the
BigDesktop thing another go at some point. That seems to be the method
that will give the best performance.
I must say, it's kinda silly that Xinerama won't do DRI the way you've
got it setup. I'll have to look into it; surely it can't be too hard to
fix.
James.
