Hey all.. quick question for the group, well, a statement first, then a
question.

It looks like mythfrontend is correctly detecting multiple xinerama
screens (regular monitors for now, no TV), but is not behaving correctly
in setting width/heights accordingly..

Steps:
- Using a Geforce4 FX 5200 card, install with TwinView options set in
XF86Config-4 as follows:

Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
Option "NvAGP" "1"
Option "MetaModes" "1600x1200", "1280x1024"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "50-100"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-96"
Option "TwinView"
Option "NoLogo" "false"

- Start X
- open MythFrontend

Result: The frontend detects screens, I've configured it in setup to use
screen 1 (the 1280x1024 screen).  Problem is that the myth background
spans both monitors, the buttons span both monitors, and get cut off at
the bottom on the smaller screen.

Is this an issue with how myth is handling xinerama?

Cheers,
Aaron
