I do a experiments. I provide "smart/ugly hacks". Results in http://startx.times.lv IMHO xf86 folks should not support supicious projects. My is one of thousand Linux kernel pathes. Nobody can test these all. Ofcourse CPU speed now is powerfull. In the my end I run old games ("Return to castle wolfenstein") in the triple screens, whith separate sound. This fact impress only funs/hackers. Office users should wait some years or use commercial software (5-head) under MS-Windows provided by chinese sellers.
