Yes but they do have special xinerama as well, which can work across
cards as well as on the same multi-output card. Which is cool I did
that last year at SCALE where I had hardware accelerated 3d on three
monitors on two physical cards, using xinerama.

Oh and to claify Xgl/3D desktop requires hardware accelerated 3d
inorder of fuction that is why when you enable xinerama Xgl is
disabled.
