12 I know I'm a little late in responding to this thread, but I just found
13 out that 6.8.0-r1 breaks xinerama/dual+ display support for anyone
14 running the Radeon chipset. And no, I'm not using the ati-drivers
15 package because that doesn't work for me since I'm running an r100
16 version of the Radeon. I'm not sure how many xinerama users we have out
17 there, but this is quite annoying. I've already commented on two bugs
18 related to this.

23 I'm curious, are there any Radeon users out there running Xinerama that
24 aren't having problems with this version?

26 I've also noticed some quirkiness with the Radeon on my laptop. Now,
27 whenever I close the lid for my laptop, X won't come back up when I open
28 it back up. I have to go to a virtual terminal, then go back to the X
29 term and it'll show back up.
