Here EXA works if I remove all options from the "Device" section. Actually
only "Cachelines" looks useful, "triple buffer" and "PageFlip" can be
removed. Not sure they were *ever* useful :)

I'll try. I'll have to be lucky that the terminal window is in the
foreground ;)

Yes, clone mode. What bothers me the most is that if I put a window in
fullscreen, the window is 1280x800 and the resulting output on the VGA is
pretty funny with this cut fullscreen and the bottom of my desktop still
visible.

Could you post it or send it to me privately? I wouldn't mind checking it
out.

Thanks for your help, I'll try the compiz magic now!
