I recently installed conky and it works great...except it can't draw to double buffer so it flickers. Here's the output from starting conky:
Conky: desktop window (4ac) is root window
Conky: window type - override
Conky: drawing to created window (0x1600001)
Conky: failed to set up double buffer
Conky: drawing to single buffer
I'm running triples monitors with Xinerama. Here's my xorg:

"dbe" gets loaded by default so I don't need to worry about that. Any ideas?

Apparently nvidia prevents initializing the double buffering with Xinerama enabled. I guess I'm just going to have to let conky flicker =\
See: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=110660
Are there any other solutions to having triple monitors without using Xinerama?

I have the same issue. I have triple monitors on an ATI Radeon 7950, set up with Xinerama. Conky flickers because it cannot initialize double buffer. Is there any solution?
