you can configure it as independent screen (zaphod mode ?) putting the
xinerama option (and obviously the "clone" one) off.

You will have two independent screen but with shared input devices.

I am not a license expert (i have always used gpl and bsd), but if its a
requirement to include this driver in the xorg tree, i will obviously
change it.


Now i am testing the EXA acceleration (i will probably release it in the
week end) and performance are a lot better (most of all thanks to copy
acceleration)
