 Create a screen 0 that covers all monitors [the primary monitor] on a system with
 multiple monitors.
+Fake XINERAMA data is created describing the individual monitors,
+(This is similar to the 'merged framebuffer' or 'pseudo-xinerama' mode provided by
+some drivers for the xorg X server).
 This option is currently enabled by default in \fB\-multiwindow\fP mode.
