Well the problem is Xinerama disables XRandR extension in xorg, so if something requires XRandR and Xinerama is running, it will fail due to XRandR not being available. This is actually partially fixed by XRandR 1.2 which now has it's own Xinerama controls built in, however, currently only Intel and I think ATI FOSS drivers support the XRandR 1.2 spec. I was talking to the NVidia proprietry driver devs yesterday regarding XRandR 1.2 support and they said they are planning to make the official drivers XRandR 1.2 compliant but there is no scheduled release date at this time (it is quite a new spec).
This means once the drivers support the new spec, users will not need to enable Xinerama in their xorg.conf as it will be handled by XRandR and thus XRandR won't be disabled by the traditional Xinerama running. Hope that makes sense?
