I set this up and can reproduce this fairly easily, but I'm pretty sure this isn't an
NVIDIA bug.
I can reproduce the problem with Ubuntu Maverick, but I can't reproduce
it on a recent version of Arch Linux, which uses the same X server version.
On Ubuntu, I can induce a crash by just running `kwrite` in a bare X
server with Xinerama enabled. I always get the same backtrace from the
crashing server:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

This does seem to be a core X server bug rather than a driver bug.
I reported this bug to nVidia, and they find it's an Xorg error in Ubuntu's implementation. Their comment is: nvidia. custhelp. com/cgi- bin/nvidia. cfg/php/ enduser/ acct_login. php?p_next_ page=myq_ upd.php& p_iid=298195& p_created= 1285728578 ------- ------

Thanks for running those xinerama tests and for the additional information.

Let me know if I can help further.
