Okay so I fugured one thing out... I can get it to mirror the desktop
across two monitors if I set the monitor resolution on both monitors the
same. *BUT* I cannot get it to do one big desktop extended across the
two monitor no matter what I do. This is *NOT* how I remember xinerama
working in the past. I have had it working on a different set of
hardware before and I actually had one big desktop extended across the
two screens and that is what I want... any ideas?
