So much info... It's usualy worth it to spam the list with it, even
though one doesn't think it is needed. Atleast i would have picked up
on this thread earlier.
So the maximzed window is 1024x768? :)
Those HDMI are what is messing up your setup.
I disabled them to get rid of the tileing. But remember this, if you
want to connect a screen via basestation some day.
Here is the relevant snippet from my xorg.conf:
###
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
VendorName "Intel"
BoardName "GM45 Video"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "monitor-HDMI-1" "HDMI-1"
Option "monitor-HDMI-2" "HDMI-2"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "HDMI-1"
Option "Ignore" "True"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "HDMI-2"
Option "Ignore" "True"
EndSection
###
This should fix your "cwm-problem" which wasn't one at all.
