Well, unless you use Alex's mergedfb in DRI CVS, then Xinerama  will 
work w/ DRI, no?   But even so,  even my Windows Radeon drivers don't 
work well w/ dual head and 3D.  I typically turn off the 2nd head before 
starting a 3D fullscreen app.  Likewise, its wouldnt seem to be a big 
deal to start X w/ two different servers - one for DRI and one for 
Xinerama.
