[3ddesktop-dev] Re: xinerama

I am using it with two separate cards.  I only have 3d acceleration set
up on one of them (I havent gotten around to messing with the Gatos ATI
drivers for the other one yet.  It shows half of the 3ddesktop display
on the monitor connected to my nvidia card, and the one connected to the
ATI card just stays the same until I tell it to switch workspaces.  It
would be great if there was a way to tell it to only use the one card,
and eventually to clone it to both monitors.  Having it split between
them looks awful.
