hi alex thanks for your answer.

even though i have turn on and off xinerama and added MergedFB in section device i still have a:
(II) RADEON(1): Direct rendering disabled

btw is this 3d accelatared mode something that one day will be fixed or is it something that is phisically impossible to achieve on this kind of video card (ati mobility radeon 7500)

would look at my attemp (xorg.conf) and tell me why im still getting:
(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled

as you can see below xinerama and clone mode are commented out
