Hi!
The Intel Xorg driver works with Xinerama. I'm writing you this half
on my 22"-Monitor and half on my Laptop's LVDS.

And it continually worked since i bought my monitor 2 years ago.
Currently I'm on the git-version of the intel-driver as of march 19th.

perhaps your statement about the intel xorg-driver not working with
xinerama is too broad?

This version works with both, KMS and Non-KMS.
The only kink is, that with KMS the output's are numbered (VGA vs VGA1
and LVDS vs LVDS1) so you have to extend your
xorg-monitor-configuration for these outputs)

The only bug in KMS that keeps me from defaulting to it, is
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20666 (slow rxvt rendering),
but i have no time to pursue this issue any further.


For KMS i have updated also my xorg-server and various dependencies to
the git-versions. 

Sincerly, 

Florian Mickler
