"driconf" to try to solve "texture size" problem with beryl+radeon+dualhead+mergefb [WORKS FOR ME (TM)]

[ArcosCom Linux User]

As some guys apoint to me, I have to restrict to the maximun texture size
my desktop size to allow beryl work with dualhead.

Ok. I do it and ¡¡its working!!

My trick has been to use the second monitor "below" or "above" the
primary, then my desktop fit into texture size window.

Now I'm happy and can enjoy beryl with a dual head configuration with my
desktop.

Thank you very much to all people that allow me to do that with their help.

In some days/weeks I'll write this into beryl wiki to share my experience
with the comunity.

Thank you very much again.

Regards
