Hello!

I recently bought another Solid Impact (I've got two now), and added to
my Indigo2. Works excellent, Xsgi found the other card and gave me a
second screen.

But, I'd like to be able to move windows between them just like Xinerama
can.
At the moment I can only move the cursor/focus between the screens, just
like x2x and nscd.

Any ideas?

Yepp. This is behaviour as expected. There is no xinerama extension in
Xsgi yet. So you have to close the application on head 0 and restart it
with the display set to head 1.

Strange. Well are you sure it is the Xsgi, I do this all the time on my
Onyx (Conas 8 card)?

you simply mix up the two definitions: multi-head (aka multi-pipe) and
multi CHANNEL (one pipe with several displays)

while on the first (multi pipe) it won't work without any special hack
(like xinerama), it's normal that on the second (multi-channel) it will work
transparently.

Any idea if this feature going to be added to Xsgi sometime soon?

Yes. Absolutely right, I did.
