If i understand: Cygwin/XFree86 uses the Windows and/or the Cygwin layers;
and, Xinerama is a hardware layer...
Is it a lack of Cygwin and/or Window, if this feature cannot be implemented
in XFree86 ?
Is it a problem of performance ?

Most applications (window manager, ...) simulate this feature: but, I
suppose that a direct access to the low level interface is more efficient...
