i use the 1400x900 internal lcd (macbookpro core duo) and a 1280x1024 external
lcd (analog/vga, no dvi). "big desktop" (i.e. only one screen/framebuffer) does
not work. i think because of the different resolutions.
but with two screens (not two xorg sessions, but two window manager (dwm)
instances) everything works fine. here is the relevant part of my xorg.conf:
Section "ServerLayout"
Screen "internalscreen" 0 0
Screen "externalscreen" LeftOf "internalscreen"
Option "AIGLX" "false" # perhaps useless
...
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "lcd"
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "externalmonitor"
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "fglrx0"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "ForceMonitors" "crt2,nocrt1,lvds" # auto monitor
detection of crt2 seems still broken with 8.33.6
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "fglrx1"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Screen 1
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "internalscreen"
Device "fglrx0"
Monitor "lcd"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "externalscreen"
Device "fglrx1"
Monitor "externalmonitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
EndSection
I hope i could help you.
Bye
