I have the binary Nvidia drivers working with glx, on a Xinerama desktop with a Radeon 7200 pci card (good deal, $35 bucks, 32meg, great secondary card) My problem is that if I put the second monitor to the left of the first things like mozilla and acrobat ghost onto the second monitor and leave artifacts.. Anyone seen this behavior , I have tried this option but no avail, Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" "1" The solution was to move the secondary monitor to the right of the main screen, shrug. -- --- Derek T.
