Indeed this is a Render/Xinerama bug. Until someone gets a chance to fix it properly however, you can workaround the issue by disabling render accel in the Matrox driver. To do so, you need to add a line to the very top of the source code file mga_storm.c as: #undef RENDER Recompile the Matrox driver, and you're all set. It should work. -- Mike A.
