I'm trying to get the ati proprietary (fglrx) driver (8.19.10) working 
with xinerama on xorg-x11 (6.8.2). According to the release notes from 
8.16.x, xinerama is now supported but I can't seem to make it work. It 
goes into X but I get very bad ghost images everywhere and it's 
completely unusable. Is anyone out there using these two together?

Big Desktop would work, but I'd like to run my laptop lcd, which is a 
T43, at 1400x1050 and the external monitor (a 19inch flat screen) at 
1280 x 1024. I can make this work with the fglrx driver without xinerama 
support, but I have to run two separate window managers, and I can't 
move windows between them because of this. Can anyone help me out?

Jeremy
