I already have a lot of experience that stuff from nvidia does not just work either and no real hope of that getting better. If you only run two monitors it is fine. If you run 4 with two video cards then it is not so trouble free.
The eyefinity 6 card can do 6 monitors in hardware so no xinerama needed anymore as long as eyefinity works under linux. The whole thing is presented as a single display to xorg or at least theoretically. So even things like composite should work and amd has shown far more interest in open source then nvidia has.
They may not be better now but it sure looks like it will long term. Right now as long as it is better for running 4 displays for 2d work quicker then dual 8800GTS with xinerama that is what I really care about. 3D is not important to me.
