Hi,

the update to xorg-server-1.3 broke my dual-screen setup. It creates a
virtual screen size with the same size of the primary monitor for the
second monitor which is my TV. So i can only reach a zone with 800x600
on the second device, even scrolling within the virtual screen is
impossible. I want 1280x1024 for the primary and 800x600 for the
secondary Monitor which displays the complete desktop on any screen.

The Xorg.0.log file does not show any errors which may give some hints.

Hi have searched and found that there were changes in the xorg.conf
file. But i have found no documentation which describes the changes
which have to be made to the configuration file. I have also checked man
xorg.conf but haven't found anything mich may cause this problem.

Any help would be appreciated!

Regards,

Daniel
