Breaking support for Xinerama sounds like a pretty good argument against
changing how MythTV reads the screen's size.  Do you know why it was
done?

What do you mean by my "driver's" Xinerama support?  What kind of driver
are you talking about?

Then why doesn't the picture have the right size when I have the window
maximized across both screens?

No luck so far...

Do you mean running on different virtual terminals?
