I'd still be inclined to consider it an issue with the new modular X. |
| 17 |
Not all is yet entirely smooth going with it. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Also note that Section ServerFlags of xorg.conf can contain an Option |
| 20 |
"Xinerama" line. Previously, even if Xinerama support was compiled, it |
| 21 |
was off by default unless you had that option listed and it wasn't toggled |
| 22 |
off in the option (the option defaults to on if found, so on doesn't have |
| 23 |
to be specified). Assuming you don't have that option listed, perhaps |
| 24 |
the default has changed, and it now defaults to on under certain |
| 25 |
circumstances? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I wouldn't have noticed it here as I run dual monitors (altho I have |
| 28 |
xinerama off because I'm running the radeon driver in merged framebuffer |
| 29 |
mode, with its pseudoxinerama, so I don't need the extension turned on) in |
| 30 |
xinerama mode (well pseudoxinerama, without the extension, as explained). |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I'd check and see if there's a bug on it, and consider filing one, if not. |
| 33 |
If the change is intentional, it should no longer have that flag, so |
| 34 |
obviously, there's either a bug in the support being added, or in the flag |
| 35 |
still being there but not honored. That's a bug that needs filed, unless |
| 36 |
there's already one on it. |
