Public bug reported:
I've got two displays connected to my nvidia graphics card. I use
nvidia's twinview settings to enable video output on both screens. My
/etc/X11/xorg.conf looks like this
---
...
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Nvidia 7600GS"
...
Option "TwinView" "on"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
Option "MetaModes"
"1280x1024,1280x1024;1024x768,1024x768;800x600,800x600"
...

When i run games in fullscreen mode, the picture is displayed in the
middle of both screens and not maximized on one screen without affecting
the second one. I guess a simple graphic will explain what i'm trying to
say.
g = game
b = black screen
x = desktop
Normally i would expect the maximized game on one screen and my desktop
on the other one
gggggggg|xxxxxxxx
gggggggg|xxxxxxxx
gggggggg|xxxxxxxx
gggggggg|xxxxxxxx
I'm used to this behaviour from e.g. totem when displaying a video in
fullscreen. But i get this:
bbbbgggg|ggggbbbb
bbbbgggg|ggggbbbb
bbbbgggg|ggggbbbb
bbbbgggg|ggggbbbb
On both screens i get a half of game and the rest of my displays is
black.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Install a system with nvidia twinview
2) Install e.g. Frozen Bubble
3) Start Frozen Bubble an hit Ctrl+F
