Yes!

I wanted to use xinerama, but there was some obstacle.  Rummaging
around now to find it...

...Now I can't even find the documentation for it!  One of my Debian
sid installations has xserver-xorg-core version 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-2 and
that has man pages for xorg.conf and Xserver which at least mention
xinerama.  Another sid installation here has version 1:1.0.2-5 which
doesn't even have that.  A Debian 3.1 (sarge) box here has man X from
xfree86-common version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge3, but no mention of
xinerama.

It seems that the transition from xfree86 to xorg.conf has left the
documentation in shambles.

It may be that the problem was heterogeneous screens.  One has an ati
driver (possibly soon to be supplanted by that Diamond Viper AGP from
Eric Theis) and 1280x1024 resolution, the other a trident driver and
1024x768 resolution.
