Xinerama is old, buggy and more or less deprecated at this point. Also compositing doesn't work with it enabled which causes other issues.

It is? What's the alternative?

Doesn't exist (yet). The intended replacement is multi-gpu support in xRandR but that feature has been pushed back release after release of xRandR for literally years now.
