Isn't it possible to have a "semi" extended desktop, for instance being able to display a video in fullscreen on the external display while continue to work on the EEE PC screen. So far, I only managed to get either this "virtual" screen (so fullscreen video extends on BOTH screens), either configuring the external screen as a different screen (so fullscreen video displays correctly only on this video but windows cannot be moved from one window to the other, and I have to setup a starting script "DISPLAY=:0.2... and it requires a server restart to detect the screen)?

Status in Ubuntu Eee: New Bug description: You can not enable Extended Desktop. You can only clone the screens, since X is not recognizing a larger screen than 1024x1024. This is caused by the xorg.conf file missing a virtual line for the screen. Can someone add the following line to the gold release, so that extended desktop will be available.
