Maybe the current CVS driver does, you may want to ask on the
Xpert@XFree86.Org list.
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.
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.
