Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I got a second monitor and have KDE running in xinerama big screen mode |
| 4 |
without problems. Most everything works great but every game that I |
| 5 |
tried was streched over both screens when in fullscreen and gets so |
| 6 |
unplayable for me. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Xinerama useflag is set and xinerama is loaded by X without error. |

I use the opensource drivers with KMS here. |

Is there anything that can be done to fix this problems with fullscreen |
| 42 |
games? |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
The best would be if I could configure X to use the monitors as seperate |
| 45 |
screens 0:1 and 0:2 but when I try to configure this in Xorg.conf the |
| 46 |
second screen is not found and both monitors are configured in clone mode. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
This is the xorg.conf that I tried last, atm no xorg.conf is used at all. |
