[plug] Xinerama (again)

[Simon.Scott at flexiplan.com]

Hi all

At the moment Im running Mandrake 8 with XFree 4.0.2 (IIRC) and KDE 2.1 (IIRC)

I setup xinerama last night (using Matrox's fab mgapdesk utility) and I get one
desktop on two monitors

HOWEVER

The second monitor seems to corrupt alot. I get text that should be appearing on
head 1, appearing on head 2 instead.
The titlebars on head 2 are always corrupt, but if I move the window to head 1
everything is fine again
Sometimes I get little colourful lines (random colours) appearing horizontally
on head 2, which go away with movement etc

Head 1 shows a little corruption, mostly the text disappearing so it can appear
on head 2

Would this be an X thing, a G400 driver thing, or a KDE thing? I will upgrade
everything to the latest versions tonight anyway, Im just wondering if anyone
has experienced this before.

Im running both in 1024x768 16 bit BTW. I heard that 16 bit was best supported
by the drivers, and Im used to 16 colours on c64s so 65536 dont really bother me
:)

Thanks
