In fact, yes, yes it does. See the new gnome-display-properties in F9
for some of the bits of user-configured dual-head magic. Thanks to ssp
for doing the hard work there.
Right now I need xorg.conf for these things on my desktop Radeon X600
and also my i965 laptop chip:
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
So XVideo works and Render accel works.
Virtual 3200 1600
So dual-head actually has somewhere to put the second head :-)
Various options for touchpad, so I can tap-to-click and drag.
Oh, and per-user dual-head/Xinerama configuration doesn't seem to work
so well when the window manager or session manager loads before the
dual-head is configured, resulting in all your icons, applications,
and gnome-panels being restored overlapped on a single-head.
But you probably knew about all these problems already...If you'd like
bugs filed, let me know.
