Why change your kernel, when you can just disable DRI in the
config file? Or better yet, just leave it alone and let the
above code fragment do it for you. ;o)
One point to mention though is that the comment that is displayed
mentions "XFConfig" file of which their is no such thing. Typo.

Well... looking at the driver source[0], I see the following comment:
/* Xinerama has sync problem with DRI, disable it for now */
if(xf86IsEntityShared(pScrn->entityList[0]))
{
info->directRenderingEnabled = FALSE;
xf86DrvMsg(scrnIndex, X_WARNING,
"Direct Rendering Disabled -- "
"Dual-head configuration is not working with DRI "
"at present.\nPlease use only one Device/Screen "
"section in your XFConfig file.\n");
}
So maybe I'll try a kernel with no DRI support. But that's going to suck in
different ways.

Edward.

Certainly looks that way. The only thing I can think of for you to try is to play with leaving out the bus ID from either or both device sections. But I very much doubt it will work. Is the 4.1.0 driver even supposed to support dualhead on these chips?
