my setup is ati 9600pro --> monitor0 -> tv-out (clone) matrox milenium -> monitor1 It looks like xorg and xfree (tried both) have problems with xinerama when fglrx driver is used. I looks like monitor0 and monitor1 are seen as one monitor and that the added xinerama features do not function Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. loading fglrx driver 2. enabling xinerama Actual Results: xinerama works at first glans ,but the screen are pleased in of screen please do to resolution difference, maximalisation is done over both screens not just one screen, so al extra features of xinerama do not function. Expected Results: windows should have not been placed in offscreen area's. maximasation should have occurred just on one screen

1. Make sure "xinerama" use flag is set 2. Remerge your desktop (KDE, Gnome, whatever) and its underlying library (Qt, GTK).
Hmmm.... sorry I can reproduce your problem now. I'm running ati-drivers-8.8.25-r3 in "bigscreen"-mode. Things I noticed: - No real Xinerama (as you said, maximizes windows over both screens, KDE doesn't recognize 2 xinerama screens, ...) - Both screens need to have the same resolution (as documented by ATI) With the open-source "radeon"-driver, Xinerama works fine. So it seems like it's just another usability issue with ATI's "drivers" :(
tryed remerging KDE still xinerama craps up so it must be a fault in the kde xinerama support. Well I did some more testing with gnome, xfce4 in stead of KDE and they do work properly in xinerama mode, so It's strange that it should work with radeon drivers under kde, but then again the real ati drivers are a bit crappy.
kde folks, ideas?
I used to tip to remerge qt en gtk, after remerging qt the problem was solved, thnx
