I know this won't win any awards for stupid error codes, but still... After trying Xinerama for a while to see if it reduced the temperature of my video card (it didn't), I finally had to log out again, so I was going to switch back to TwinView, since it's slightly faster (being in hardware, rather than software, or something). And even though the exact same config worked a couple of months ago (other than some judicious commenting to disable xinerama and enable twinview), this is the error message I got: (WW) NVIDIA(0): TwinView cannot be enabled when a GPU is shared between (WW) NVIDIA(0): multiple X screens. Now, for those who don't know what TwinView is, it's, well, it's something that NVidia provides to, well, allow a GPU to be shared between multiple X screens. Yes, that's right, this function doesn't work when you try to use it; otherwise, it works fine. Yes, I'm assuming I broke the config somehow, but, geez, how does this kind of error even get added to the driver? It's just astounding. Back to Xinerama and it's slow crappiness, I guess... -- Most people are born and years later die without really having lived at all.
