Running FF 19 on 12.10 using nVidia drivers and xinerama for three 
monitors, no probs. That's a more extreme case, yet it works so far. 
Maybe do an update/upgrade of packages, then reboot? Video-wise, no 
problem.

What I have noticed lately is that firefox dinks up some keyboard 
bindings in warzone2100 run in full screen mode, across three monitors. 
The alt key seems to have been stolen, until I close FF. Something IS 
amiss.  Ric
