Thats my problem with xrandr atm.
I DON'T want to EXPAND my Desktop to anything when activating my TV.
I need two clean seperated screens and that doesn't seem possible with
xrandr. All it does is giving me this fucking stupid extended BigScreen.

I doesn't need to drag windows from one screen to another or such a thing.

My TV is only needed as an output for video, and that as easy as it can be.

With my setting now I have a script in KDE that calls
vlc -X11-display:0.1 -f to give me a nice fullscreen video on the TV
with vlc-controlls on the main monitor. Clean, fast, easy.

With xrandr and its expanded BigScreen that just isn't possible.
There I have to start vlc (or mplayer or whatever), drag the videowindow
to the TV and scale it to a pseudo-fullscreen with window-boards because
the buildin fullscreen-mode doesn't work.

I would love to change my driver from fglrx to radeonhd but radeonhd
only supports xrandr and with that only crappy BigScreen-Mode.
Or it seems so.

If anybody could tell me how I get two screens that can be adressed by
$DISPLAY with radeonhd I change drivers asap.
As my setup is a Desktop-PC not a Laptop and the displays are always
connected hotplug is not needed here, so a static setup in xorg.conf is
absolutly fine for me.

On the net I only find howtos for BigScreen and hotplug.
