A reader writes "Xinerama will be part of X. "This is the FIRST and ONLY case of XFree86 code going into the shared implementation" Read more at http://www.xfree86.org/#xinerama. Does this mean even better movies? Or, are they only concerned with technical quality?"

    I guess having a second monitor would let you watch a movie while working on screen 1, but that is not what Xinerama really is.

    I think the poster was getting it confised with Xine (http://xine.sourceforge.net/)
