I'm not sure if this is suppost to happen, but XrandR does not work when the xinerama option is enabled in my xorg.conf file. However xranr works fine when xinerama is disabled and i still use two screens. Hope this helps.
currently the two don't play nice. the problem is xinerama doesn't update the new screen info on an xrandr resize so you could potentially get some bad behavior.

Is this the cause of my problem, then? I'm on FreeBSD 6.0-Release, with two nvidia cards. With xinerama off, GL works perfectly with the expected speed difference between cards. With it on, GL apps do this sort of thing: $ gleyes X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 144 (NV-GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 4 () Resource id in failed request: 0xa00001 Serial number of failed request: 24 Current serial number in output stream: 24 $ glxgears X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 144 (NV-GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 4 () Resource id in failed request: 0xa00002 Serial number of failed request: 26 Current serial number in output stream: 26 I'd be delighted if this were fixed, as xinerama otherwise works very well for me.
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
steff: that isn't the cause of your problem per se, but it's another 'xinerama doesn't play nice with anything' issue. randr-1.2 mostly resolves this one. -> under the carpet
