 Hello,

        I am running RedHat 7.0 on an Intel box that has an AGP 3dfx
Voodoo 5500 card and a PCI 3dfx Voodoo 5500 card.  I can get each card
to work independently.  However, xinerama doesn't work properly if at
all.  In xinerama mode X either dies on startup or soon after it loads
The following errors in the log.

        Xlib:  extension "SHAPE" missing on display ":0.0".
        Resetting FIFO


        Has anyone gotten two Voodoo 5500's working together with
xinerama?  Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for your help.  My XF86Config is below
Don
