Re: xscreensaver problems on dual monitors

 As far as I know this is how it works, xinerama features are not
 fully functional in the ATI drivers. I did some reasearch when I
 first installed my ATI drivers and found that there was no fix for
 it, this was quite a few months ago. I can tell you that I am still
 getting the same results with xorg. Maximizing a video to both
 monitors should also only disply on a single monitor, at least thats
 what mine does.

I was browsing through the changelog of X.org, and I found the project Xdmx (http://dmx.sourceforge.net/). It is used to combine multiple X servers to one screen, usually for video-walls etc. Since the Ati drivers have a '2 X-servers mode', I thought Xdmx might be used to combine these two servers to one dual-screen display. It's a long shot, and I'm probably missing some critical details, but does anyone know if this might work?
