Hmm, I have one video card with two outputs. It doesn't detect a second monitor at all. I've looked through DrakX and all, and don't see anything about Xinerama anywhere. I guess it only works if you have two cards?

So, do you have two video cards or one with dual head?  If so, did you
not configure it on install?  If not, you can run drakx, I believe (now
that I don't have a mandrake box here to check it...might be Drakx or
DrakX or something), or go to the Mandrake control center and if I
remember right it's system->configure X or something like that.  Go
through the wizard to configure X and at some point you can choose to
use xinerama.

Okay, the thought of effortlessly configuring Xinerama lured me into giving mandrake 9.1 a try. So far I'm marginally pleased, except that I can't find anything to help me use Xinerama. I'd go googling for it, but I thought I would let the Mandrake users defend themselves and just tell me where DraXirama (or whatever) is.

Also: It set up font anti-aliasing but it used the wrong subpixel hint. It looks really bad. I can change it for myself, but the login screen looks terrible.
