I haven't played with merge-fb so I may not understand it right, but doesn't it have a much larger impact for 3D rendering? With merged-fb everything gets rendered once to a framebuffer than spans both screens. With two independent screens you need to run everything through the 3D pipe twice and use something like Chromium locally. Or do the size limits on the merged framebuffer prevent this from working? Of course if we want 3D to span multiple cards we still need Chromium. XGL is going to but a new twist on the Xinerama problem. -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
