Hi,

you could hack it up to do that, but it would be in no way an
upstreamable solution. It would also hurt display timings because
every repaint would have to wait for both monitors to refresh. Or,
all but one monitor would tear.

A simpler hack would be to create overlapping outputs and
force them repaint fully on every refresh instead of repainting
only the damage. That's not upstreamable either, but the damage
could be hacked with probably a one-liner.


Thanks,
pq
