Make sure all direct and indirect dependencies have USE=xinerama.
Specifically:

x11-libs/qt-gui
x11-libs/gtk+
media-libs/libsdl
app-emulation/wine

xinerama is enabled global in make.conf so everything and the
kitchensink should be build with it.

SNIP...

I don't think I have this problem here but I'd need to emerge a
specific game that runs full screen to test. Could you please provide
the name of something easy to emerge and test. I ran a game called 0ad
a couple of months ago and I was able to make it full screen on one
monitor at that time.

Also, whereas I think you have two monitors, I have 3 hooked to 2
_different_ Nvidia cards. (a GTX465 driving 2 monitors and an 8400GS
driving 1) Since installing the second VGA _none_ of the KDE OpenGL
effects have worked. However a friend has two 8400GS cards installed
driving 3 monitors and OpenGL works fine for him on all 3 monitors so
I figure that's an Nvidia driver issue when the cards are different
types.

Anyway, I'm attaching my xorg.conf file in case there's something of
value there for you. I don't claim it's a very good xorg.conf file but
it seems to mostly work for this machine.

Please trim responses.

HTH,
Mark

 Hi,
 
 I got a second monitor and have KDE running in xinerama big screen mode
 without problems. Most everything works great but every game that I
 tried was streched over both screens when in fullscreen and gets so
 unplayable for me.
 
 Xinerama useflag is set and xinerama is loaded by X without error.
 
 My card:
 
 # lspci |grep VGA
 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI
 Barts PRO [Radeon HD 6800 Series]
 
 I use the opensource drivers with KMS here.
 
[...]
 
 Is there anything that can be done to fix this problems with fullscreen
 games?
 
 The best would be if I could configure X to use the monitors as seperate
 screens 0:1 and 0:2 but when I try to configure this in Xorg.conf the
 second screen is not found and both monitors are configured in clone mode.
 
 This is the xorg.conf that I tried last, atm no xorg.conf is used at all.
 
[...]

I recommend getting rid of xinerama. xrandr can handle multiple monitors
just fine. If you are on KDE, try installing kde-base/kephal and use no
xorg.conf.

I still have the xinerama USE flag enabled globally as it adds
multi-monitor awareness to some applications.

With that, fullscreen applications work for me. Some still deactivate
the second display or change the resolution but otherwise it works just
fine.

Regards,
Florian Philipp
