No one knows anything about this? I'm curious. I don't see anything in
my man pages about the "+xinerama" option.

Dear Mike,

When using an incorrect option while starting vncserver, a list of options is displayed in which the following two lines exists.

+xinerama Enable XINERAMA extension
-xinerama Disable XINERAMA extension

Ik think that they are X options instead of VNC options.
