I'm afraid not. Even if the server worked with DRI and Xinerama enabled (AFAIK the driver explicitly disables the DRI with multiple screens anyway), that wouldn't mean 3D acceleration would work because the 3D driver has no notion of multihead yet. That's why multiple heads as viewports into a single screen would by far be the easiest way to get working 3D acceleration with multihead. > My problem, however, comes earlier in the file.

No. The radeon driver now only reserves the additional space when there are 3D contexts, but they still take up the same space. The driver now has an option to disable the back buffer, but I'm not sure that's very funny. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
