You are misunderstanding. There are two things with the name |
| 20 |
xinerama - one is an X protocol to allow multiple screens to chat |
| 21 |
with each other, the other is a chunk off code to do it. |

|

nvidia-drivers uses the former. When you say "I rebooted without |
| 24 |
xinerama" you are trying to do the latter (I have no ide how you |
| 25 |
would do that, but still). |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
So. Do not run xinerama. Do put xinerama in USE. |
