--- Comment #15 from Ilia Mirkin <imirkin at alum.mit.edu> ---
Spaces around operators don't matter in C. You can even do one of my
favourites:

while (x --> 0) { // as x goes to 0
  ...
}

:)

The commit roughly implementing what I was suggesting has been pushed out into
xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9. But we can repurpose this bug to be about
xinerama-fail. I unfortunately can't really help with that though. I'm also
having a bit of a hard time understanding what you mean when you're describing
those problems, perhaps taking a photo would help. Do note that Xinerama is
considered to be the devil's spawn nowadays, so getting a card with 4 outputs
could be the way to go -- NVE0+ cards can have support for that. If, OTOH,
you're satisified with having 2 separate screens of 2 monitors each (which I
guess is what you were doing at first) and not being able to drag windows
across them, then the multi-screen solution should work too... (just get rid of
zaphod heads/xinerama, but keep the separate device/screen sections pointing at
the right things)
