Configuring Xinerama on the Solaris OS for x86 Platforms

Overview This paper shows how to configure Xinerama on the Solaris OS for x86 platforms, and it can also be used to configure multihead functionality on x86 systems running the Solaris OS. Xinerama is an extension to the X Window System, and it provides the user with more screen real estate. Rather than just setting multiple displays in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, Xinerama allows the user to move windows between displays, expand window size to multiple displays, and cut and paste between displays. This also allows a user to see more in the image being displayed. Effectively the resolution is increased to the sum of the resolutions of the displays.
