Xinerama in Leopard?



Hi,

I tried upgrading to Leopard and am having some problems with X.
I see others here are as well.

The only problem that I can't live with is the that the X server in
Leopard seems to have Xinerama disabled.  Eg, it is treating the
external monitor on my 20" iMac as a separate display, rather than
treating both monitors together as a single display.

>From a diff of xdpyinfo running on Tiger vs Leopard:

<...>
-    XFree86-Bigfont
-    XINERAMA
+    XFIXES
+    XInputExtension
+    XKEYBOARD
     XTEST
     XVideo
 default screen number:    0
-number of screens:    1
+number of screens:    2
 
 screen #0:
-  dimensions:    3280x1200 pixels (1111x406 millimeters)
+  print screen:    no
+  dimensions:    1680x1029 pixels (569x348 millimeters)
   resolution:    75x75 dots per inch
<...>

Is there any way to work around this other than to downgrade to Tiger,
or install Tiger's X11 pkg on Leopard?  The launchd stuff has me
confused and I have no idea how to pass +xinerama to Xquartz.


Thanks,

Drew
