Bradley, I haven't played around with background images yet under
Xinerama, but I have been meaning to try my hand at splicing some
images together to make a supermegabackgroundimageofdeath -- come
remind me (on debian-x) to look further into the matter if I don't
get back to you in a few days.
Also suggested, check on debian-user if anyone has mentioned this.
As time goes on, Branden will start sending more and more people
directly to that list, as it fits closer with the group charter of
debian-user than debian-x. (And, Debian-x is preferred over emailing
Branden directly, since he gets entirely too much email about X as it
is. This way, at least some people can help weed out the easy answers.)
Cheers

Hi Branden,
First of all, excellent job on the XFree 4.x debs. I upgraded to them last
week because apt tried to install 3.3.6 overtop of the 4.0.0 that I
compiled.
Got a question for you regarding the debs. Brian Almeida (who sat next to
me at work until about half an hour ago) suggested I get in touch with you
if I couldn't track it down.
I'm running woody on a machine with the following config:
Dual PIII/500
256MB RAM
Matrox G200/8MB at 1:0:0
Matrox Millenium II/4MB at 0:18:0
Dual Sony Trinitron G500 21" monitors
XFree86 4.0.1-0phase2v30 debs
Enlightenent-0.16.5-1
Before you started cutting .debs, I ended up getting XFree86 4.0.0 and
compiling from source. things worked fine, including Xinerama.
When I rebuilt the box and installed the .debs of 4.0.1, I started having a
problem with the dual heads. I created a bunch of double-sized backgrounds
for X by pasting two regular images together. I noticed after I got back up
and running that the root window, desktop 0 in enlightenment wasn't
behaving right. Instead of having different pictures on each monitor, I had
the same one on both. Other desktops were behaving normally. I thought this
might be a problem with Enlightenment, but then, as I got the machine
configured to my liking, I noticed that the image I was using for my xdm
login (which was a normal-sized image that xinerama was stretching to fit
the two desktops) was doing the same thing. The left half of the stretched
image was displayed on the xdm login.
I wanted to email you directly since you are the most knowledgeable about
things X in the entire Project, plus I didn't want to file a bug report
since it is entirely likely that I could have something misconfigured or
did something stupid. If you need any more information, please let me know.
Anything you can suggest?
Thanks man,
