I know you said you had it working, but this thread http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/xpert/2002-April/016625.html suggests that Xinerama and GLX don't play well together. Perhaps they're different versions of XFree86? I don't know much about the subject, so I'm sorry I can't help you more. The error from xscreensaver is one I get all the time, without Xinerama, so I don't think it's related. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, Steve -- No matter how subtle the wizard, a knife in the shoulder blades will seriously cramp his style.
