[Bug 212231] Re: [Hardy] Xinerama crashes X-Server on GM965

[7oby]

Using Xrandr works perfectly and gives me dual head!

I was very well aware of the Xrandr extension, but since I had to tweak the output pipelines using the --crtc switch and manually add
SubSection "Display"
    Virtual 3200 3000
EndSubSection
to /etc/xorg.conf, I gave up on Xrandr too early in the first place. In general I'm a friend of not editing those files that get generated by distribution specific tools.

Instead I used the old school Xinerama style which seemed to me being
the style Ubuntu Hardy expects by exposing the "displayconfig" GUI. I
simply wasn't aware that Xinerama support is not only deprecated, but
broken in these intel drivers. As such I would have appreciated very
much if "displayconfig" would have warned me as Bryce suggested.
