Yeah I knew this, but this is no longer necessary after the update;
at least that's my impression. I still have "exec quartz-wm" in my
xinitrc and can make my windows span both display.
Thanks,

To get X11 windows to span displays you can use another window
manager - twm is already installed by default and supports this...
but, fvwm is much nicer ... but will require a download and
compile. To see if this solves your problem just edit your .xinitrc
file ... below is a copy of mine which also sets a black desktop...
comment out or change the last line
exec quartz-wm
to be
exec twm
and then fire up x11... you should now have a window that will
stretch across multiple monitors...
I do side by side stereo projection and have not been able to use
quartz since 10.3.4 ... nice to hear that this problem has finally
been resolved.

It appears to fix the problem where the windows can only be as
large as your largest display! Finally, X11 windows across
multiple displays. At least this is the case on my PowerBook G4
with a 23" Cinema attached. Any ideas on how to get this working
with 10.3.9?

i just noticed Apple has a new version of X11 out via Software
Update.
Has anyone tried it yet? Does it include the Intel "yellow
cursor" fix? I'm leery of installing it only to find it breaks
the hack and the old hacked version is no longer compatible.
