I haven't had the time to try your driver yet, but I would like to 
respond to the statement above. I currently have a 'normal' kind of 
dual-head setup (as can be seen from the xorg.conf I attached to my 
original post). If the pixmap should not matter at all, then how should 
I set it up? Can I specify a separate pixmap depth for each card/driver? 
Now it's just a server-wide flag I'm setting.

Thanks,

Nils.
