Comment 15 for bug 104262

Well thanks to Paladine for this info

"Well the problem is Xinerama disables XRandR extension in xorg, so if
something requires XRandR and Xinerama is running, it will fail due to
XRandR not being available. This is actually partially fixed by XRandR
1.2 which now has it's own Xinerama controls built in, however,
currently only Intel and I think ATI FOSS drivers support the XRandR 1.2
spec. I was talking to the NVidia proprietry driver devs yesterday
regarding XRandR 1.2 support and they said they are planning to make the
official drivers XRandR 1.2 compliant but there is no scheduled release
date at this time (it is quite a new spec).

This means once the drivers support the new spec, users will not need to
enable Xinerama in their xorg.conf as it will be handled by XRandR and
thus XRandR won't be disabled by the traditional Xinerama running."

Also there is a patch been worked on at mythtv which has put checks before making the call which segfaults - http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/3401

Superm1 can you check out the status of the patch and see if we can apply it to the debs
