Xinerama & debian binaries ?

[Olivier Fourdan]

Julien,

What you describe looks like a config problem in X, and is not related
to xfce capability to manage Xinerama.

In Xinerama, 2 (or more) different monitors are "seen" as a single wide
screen. If you see the same display on both monitors, it means you are
not using a Xinerama setup/layout.

As for the help regarding ATI drivers, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I won't
be of any help here. Better check on ATI forums, I guess.

Cheers,
Olivier.
