If you really want to have the monitor extend rather than clone, you may
well not even need i810switch, and in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if
it causes problems with xinerama due to trying to access the same hardware.

I would start on a minimalist basis and try to get xinerama working
until such time as you /know/ that you need i810switch.
