Currently, the driver does support MergedFB only with rectangular
Desktop Sizes. Are you aware of ongoing progress porting the feature
'non-rectangular' desktop sizes from the sis driver to radeon? how
much work approx. would that be?

I'd love to have it because I want to use my internal 1024x786 display
with an external 1280x1024 one without scrolling the smaller one. This
IS in fact possible with Xinerama, but then Xrandr does not work
anymore (which is much more annoying) :(
