I've used Xinerama with a setup of dual single-headed-cards. As I
recall, Mplayer played beautifully across both screens. I haven't had
access to a dual-headed card to try though.
I've since turned Xinerama off, and just run two displays, because my
two screens are sized differently which leaves a "dead" area that not
all programs (or is it the window manager?) deal with well. (A program
might open a window in a non-existent area of the entire virtual screen.
With a symmetric setup that shouldn't be a problem though.)
If it would help, I could re-enable Xinerama and try some specific tests
for you. The specific setup would be:
Gentoo Linux 2.4.19-gentoo-r10
Athlon thunderbird 1.2 Ghz
screen 0: 1600x1200 on Nvidia Geforce 2 MX-200 (AGP)
screen 1: 1024x768 on Voodoo 3000 (PCI)
It would be fun to see a wall set up and running :)
Best regards,
Shawn
