Currently, Gnome does much a better job with xinerama and Matrox als KDE. I agree with you about the Matrox (I have a G550 dual head configuration on an older machine here, OpenOffice crashes on it). On the other hand: I didn't even succeed to compile the Nvidia driver for my brand new x86_64 machine and Fedora core 2 test. The driver depends on a header file, which seems not to be at the place the driver expects it anymore. A little bit tricky with dual head configuration, currently. Peter > > Peter
