It did. With the RH9 isos rpms, I definitely had Xinerama dual-head working, except that the secondary screen would blank when you moused over to it.

I can probably even build you a fixed binary. Alex, I'm your willing guinea pig. If you could build me a fixed binary (of the X server?), I'd happily install it and let you know. Feel free to contact me off list. Note that this is my home machine so I usually won't get to fiddle with it until off hours.
