Xinerama is an extension to the X Window System which enables multi-headed X: applications and window managers to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display.It was originally developed by DEC (under the name PanoramiX), who contributed it to The Open Group for X11 Release 6.4, where it was renamed Xinerama. From there it was incorporated into XFree86 for the XFree86 4.0 release, and Solaris in the Solaris 7 11/99 release.

  • Xinerama is an extension to the X Window System which enables multi-headed X: applications and window managers to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display.It was originally developed by DEC (under the name PanoramiX), who contributed it to The Open Group for X11 Release 6.4, where it was renamed Xinerama. From there it was incorporated into XFree86 for the XFree86 4.0 release, and Solaris in the Solaris 7 11/99 release. The name Xinerama may have been inspired from the Cinerama widescreen theatre process. As of 2008, Xinerama is planned to be deprecated in the future by X. org in favor of XRandR . X. Org had convened a standards committee to document the protocol and API as formal standards, but that effort has now ended. . Development of the Xinerama code is now hosted on freedesktop. org and managed by X. Org. The physical displays do not need to be the same resolution. Some window managers assume that the virtual display area is rectangular, but this isn't necessarily the case if the component physical displays are not the same size. The excess space, which is needed to make the area rectangular, is called "dead space". The window manager needs to be aware of Xinerama to recognize dead space, and avoid placing new windows there.It is also an advantage if the window manager, via Xinerama awareness, can pop up new windows on the active physical display. Another advantage of Xinerama awareness is to only maximize windows to the dimensions of the active physical display. (en)
  • Xinerama (транслит. Ксинерама) — модульное расширение для оконной системы X Window System, позволяющее приложениям и оконным менеджерам работать на двух или более физических дисплеях как на одном «виртуальном» дисплее. Первоначально разработано компанией DEC, переданная The Open Group для включения в состав релиза X11 версии 6.4, тогда же переименована в Xinerama. После этого включена также в релиз XFree86 версии 4.0, а также ОС «Солярис» 7 релиз 11/99. (ru)

Es ist damit in X Window Systemen möglich, große Desktops zu benutzen, die über mehrere Monitore angezeigt werden. Die Erweiterung gibt es seit XFree86/X. Org X11 Release 6 Version 4.0. (de)
