Hello

I have an radeon using xrandr (e_xinerama) configuration. To the same 
single card two monitors are connected:
1. left monitor: 1680x1050
2. right monitor: 1280x1024

xorg.conf:
When i was using older xorg version - i had a "Xinerama" "On" - but for 
now it seems the Xinerama option seems
to be deprecated, so as new manual said i changed the Xinerama option to 
one Screen section with line:
Virtual 2960 1050

that's about initial info - but let's go to the point:
i have a problem with changing wallpaper and gadget popups - details 
follows:

1. without launching xrandr after starting x session:

E17 INIT: XINERAMA SCREEN: [0], 1280x1024+1280+0
E17 INIT: XINERAMA SCREEN: [1], 1280x1024+0+0
E17 INIT: XINERAMA CHOSEN: [0], 1280x1024+1280+0
E17 INIT: XINERAMA CHOSEN: [1], 1280x1024+0+0

Zone new(): x=1280 y=0 w=1280 h=1024
Zone new(): x=0 y=0 w=1280 h=1024

RESULTS:
changing wallpaper - ok
gadget popups - ok
DISADVANTAGE: as you can see - my left monitor isn't working in native 
resolution
============================================================================================

2. with xrandr, after command 'xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1680x1050 
--pos 0x0 --output VGA-0 --mode 1280x1024 --pos 1680x0'
(this command sets correct resolution on both of my monitors):

E17 INIT: XINERAMA SCREEN: [0], 1280x1024+1680+0
E17 INIT: XINERAMA SCREEN: [1], 1680x1050+0+0
E17 INIT: XINERAMA CHOSEN: [1], 1680x1050+0+0
E17 INIT: XINERAMA CHOSEN: [0], 1280x1024+1680+0

Zone new(): x=0 y=0 w=1680 h=1050
Zone new(): x=1680 y=0 w=1280 h=1024

RESULTS:
changing wallpaper for "This Screen" - the wallpaper is changed but for 
the opposite screen
gadget popups - don't appear (wrong calculated) - probably because zones 
wrong assigned to the gadgets

============================================================================================

3. with xrandr (like above) but also with removed the sorting in file 
e_xinerama.c
near end of the in _e_xinerama_update(void) function (removed: 
chosen_screens = eina_list_sort(...))
(you can find my temporary patch at: 
http://skyboo.net/e17/dont_sort.diff.txt)

E17 INIT: XINERAMA SCREEN: [0], 1280x1024+1680+0
E17 INIT: XINERAMA SCREEN: [1], 1680x1050+0+0
E17 INIT: XINERAMA CHOSEN: [0], 1280x1024+1680+0
E17 INIT: XINERAMA CHOSEN: [1], 1680x1050+0+0

Zone new(): x=1680 y=0 w=1280 h=1024
Zone new(): x=0 y=0 w=1680 h=1050

RESULTS:
changing wallpaper - ok
gadget popups - ok

So in 3rd case all seems ok - but this is surely a workaround, not a patch.
Of course i am open to testing any patches and providing additional info :)

regards,
