Hi out there,

I have an Ultra Sparc 30 with a Creator 3D and Matrox Millenium installed.
Both work fine in Doublehead mode but Xinerama says:

"could not create connection block info"

My screens are both setup using 1280x1024x24.

I dug a bit deeper and xdpyinfo shows a slight difference between the
visuals regarding the RGB masks and the largest cursor (see the partly cut
output of xdpyinfo below). I suspect the RGB masks the reason for the
screens being incompatible.

Has anyone an idea how I could circumvent this and start using Xinerama?

regards
