i810/modesetting and Xinerama?

Hi Dave and Keith,

Thanks to your help I now managed to compile, install and run

drm
libXrandr
randrproto
xf86-video-intel
xrandr
xserver

Immediately on startup the new server picked up the 1920 x 1200 
resolution from my external monitor, although my laptops screen 1280 x 
768 is still configured in xorg.conf. Is the screen section now ignored 
completely? The picture is cloned to the laptops display, but slightly 
distorted.

What do I need to configure in order to extend my desktop to the laptop 
display? Do I only use xrandr? What values does it take for the -display 
parameter (this is not documented)? What if xrandr does not list 1280 x 
768 resolution which I'd need for the laptop screen? How do I specify 
the server layout?

I'm attaching my Xorg.0.log for reference.

Regards,

Andreas
