The reason I do this, is that having one spanning screen sucks for virtual desktops - if I have something on the second monitor, I don't want it to disappear when I switch desktops on the other.

I don't understand the problem with r600 listing displays one way or the other.
xrandr takes care of that, or it can be set up in xorg.conf which display is left, which right.
I haven't had any (major) issues with multi-monitor and multi-seat using X and Mesa drivers (r600c and r600g) with xrandr.

Originally posted by kazetsukai View PostRight now I have endless problems with X11 and multimonitor. All 3 of my screens are the same size and resolution, both are the same family Fermi chip (470 + 465), and yet there are tons of display driver/X11 bugs.
- Xorg spikes to 100% CPU usage after a while, and gradually desktop responsiveness suffers until it is unusable.
- Some KDE4 applications will only spawn on one monitor at a time
- Some KDE4 localization is only applied on one monitor
- Xinerama and all related solutions are deprecated. Deprecated! There's no supported way to run a consistent desktop across GPUs- NONE!
- Two monitors are on one card, the third is on another. They're all horizontal of eachother. Sometimes, when moving the mouse between one X Screen (:0.0 and :0.1), the mouse will get "stuck". It will rapidly warp between the two X screens, and you are unable to move it from that edge. The Xorg process spikes and all other drawing halts. The machine has to be rebooted to be usable.
