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 |
|

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. |
