I get a circuit diagram and I can move the window around and resize it without any problem. This is running with two NVIDIA GeForce4 MX cards (one AGP and one PCI) in Xinerama. Both are in 1600x1200 making a 3200x1200 desktop. I tried this with both NVIDIA's binary driver and the "nv" driver that comes with XFree86 4.4. I suspect an mga driver bug or some other obscure problem. Here are some things you can try: 1) Don't load the "dri" or "glx" modules in the XF86Config. This would rule out a dri problem. 2) Try Option "NoAccel" for all cards. This would rule out a driver acceleration problem. 3) Don't load the "freetype" module. This would rule out a font renderer problem. 4) I notice the driver didn't autodetect the amount of VideoRam on the cards and defaulted to only 4 kBytes. You specify the correct amount in the device section (you should do this in any case since it will help performance). See man XF86Config, section on "VideoRam". 5) Try using a smaller resolution like 800x600 or 640x480 on each screen. It may be that the app has some internal assumptions about the maximum desktop size and is broken in this respect. Likewise you can see if just using two of the screens works, for example just: Screen "Screen 00" # Screen "Screen 01" LeftOf "Screen 00" Screen "Screen 02" RightOf "Screen 00" Mark. > > > thanks > > michael > > > > On Saturday 28 August 2004 02:01, Mark Vojkovich wrote: > > I don't know of any outstanding Xinerama bugs in XFree86 > > and I have no problems running Mozilla in Xinerama with two > > NVIDIA cards so I think there's not a problem with the core > > X-server.
