I was going to use option "Shared", but i guess "SharedFB" would be ok also. Shared seems more related to what we do than merged. > that. when that option is set to TRUE, it would skip the sections of > code that you have commented out. > > next add "sub" options for "MergedFB" like: > > Option "MFB-Xres" "2048" > Option "MFB-Yres" "768" > > these would set the virtualX and Y instead of having to hardcode them. Is anything wrong with using the Virtual field of the Display subsection ? It could be calculated by the driver, the only problem is that you need the both screens to already up to do that, this may be difficult. One thing i thought about was to check on which head we are when doing modeinit, and wait for the initialization of both heads before we can do the real modeinit, using information from both resolutions, but this seems somewhat hacky also. It is nicer than having to specify it in a driver option though. > it's still hackey, but would clean it up a bit and allow run time > configuration. BTW, what about the Xinerama hinting needed for desktop managers and such, will that work fine also ?
