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.

[gentoo-user] Multi monitor and fullscreen games
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. # emerge --info |grep xinerama USE=3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac acl acpi alsa amd64 avahi berkdb bluetooth branding bzip2 c++0x cairo cdda cdr cli consolekit cracklib crypt cups cxx dbus declarative dri dts dvd dvdr emboss encode exif faac fam ffmpeg firefox flac fortran fuse gdbm gif glamor gpm gtk iconv imagemagick iproute2 ipv6 jpeg jpeg2k kde kipi lame lcms libnotify mad mmap mmx mmxext mng modules mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap multilib mysql ncurses nls nptl ogg openal opengl openmp opus pam pango pch pcre pdf phonon plasma png policykit ppds pppd qt3support qt4 readline sdl semantic-desktop session spell sse sse2 ssl ssse3 startup-notification svg syslog tcpd theora threads thumbnail tiff truetype udev udisks unicode upower usb vim-syntax vorbis webkit wxwidgets x264 xattr xcb xcomposite xinerama xml xmp xorg xscreensaver xv xvid zeroconf zlib # grep -i xinerama /var/log/Xorg.0.log -A3 -B3 [36.903] Initializing built-in extension SYNC [36.903] Initializing built-in extension XKEYBOARD [36.903] Initializing built-in extension XC-MISC [36.903] Initializing built-in extension XINERAMA [36.903] Initializing built-in extension XFIXES [36.903] Initializing built-in extension RENDER [36.903] Initializing built-in extension RANDR Is there anything that can be done to fix this problems with fullscreen games?

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.
