Ehm too bad the patch has been officially refused
although Xephyr is the only way to get mulithead
for a single monitor or xinerama-only multihead
cards.
If it is so, I will apply the patch myself if it cannot go to
mainstream
I modified the -geometry patch by hand to correctly apply and
compile but it segfaults :-(. Can someone knowledgeable at least help
me reviewing the patch to get rid of segfault?.
Best regards, Davor
