I'm glad to wait the developers get something that works properly before shipping it. I'm realy looking forward the "new way" of displaying on the rift under Linux. It's one of the software features I was waiting the most 🙂

You're quite the optimist. I'm personally doubting if they'll go as far as supporting the 'non-desktop' display functionality in Linux. Up until 0.3.x they were still relying on Xinerama for screen manipulation, and investing in Linux development isn't likely to get them that much return on their investment. I think it's more likely that we'll see a linux runtime that supports the sensor functionality, but that the rendering to the Rift without having it as an active display won't be in the Linux release feature set.

Although I use Linux at work, I'm too well versed in X.org, but I thought that Xinerama is obsolete (according to Wikipedia) and that xrandr was the way to go? From my limited experience, xrandr seems to provide better information (like which monitor is the "primary" and other info such as being how to knowing bounds of the monitor to center).
