Sounds basically like what we've outlined for splitting large cliprects in the Radeon drivers. :) I admit I can't make much sense of the code you included in your post though, probably because I'm not familiar at all with the VIA code. > perhaps this is a better approach for dualhead cards going forward. > I may try and give it a shot on radeon/r200 if I can figure out exactly > how it's working.

MergedFB seems to be the clearly better overall approach than traditional Xinerama to me... -- Earthling Michel DÃnzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Software libre enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
