Xinerama _does_ support open GL, at least with my matrox card, I
can have openGL on one monitor of the two. That is a limitation of
the card hardware, AFAIK, not of X.
Are we talking about a pre-Parhelia card?
I just remembered; the Matrox G100/200/400 drivers and/or hardware has
problems with multiple OpenGL contexts. Matrox have known about it
for ages, but seem to ignore the problem. This is part of the reason
why I gave up on my G400.
That said, IIRC, you *can* still get multiple windows (different
processes) accelerated. If so, why not windows on different
desktops...?
Oh well... Accelerated drivers. No end to the fun! ;-)
