Re: [TCLUG:18782] Dual monitor saga continues (XF86Config for DualMatrox)

You are correct.  No xinerama will enable duplicate images on both
monitors.  Using  gnome with enlightenment works like a charm.  Both
screens act as one really big screen.  Sawmill works fine as well.

From your screenshot, it looks like you're having sync problems.  Monkey
around with some of the device settings (usually provided commented out by
default when X --configure detects the devices).  What I posted is just
the result of some heavy trial-and-error and spite for Xi (the overclock
bit).
