Hi Stefan,

No Xinerama, but clone is working alright on my Asus M2Ne with i855GME.

On tuxmobile.org I found the notice (at least for my model) to set the 
video output settings in the BIOS to LCD+CRT (or equivalent). I never 
tried without, but with this setting I boot into linux, startx, plug in 
the vga connector and "i810switch crt on" using a hotkey directly into a 
kpresenter fullscreen presentation.

Perhaps you have an equivalent bios setting, too.
Or you may try to plug in the vga before powering up.

Hope it helps,
Marius
