Welcome to 1987. You have two different protocol screens. They are
completely independent. They only share the keyboard and the mouse. That's
it.

This does especially mean that you cannot move windows between screens.
(This is a limitation of X11!)

People were unhappy and Xinerama was invented and included in X11R6v4.0.
This makes multiple screens "look" to the X11 protocol like a single, big
one. Since from the protocol's point of view there is now just a single
screen, windows can now move around freely.

(At least I think that this is what's going on, since you are giving us two
times the same xrandr output and claim that it is for the different
screens...)

Yeah, zaphod mode, not Xinerama.

    but benchmarking how many GL pages you can print per second
    was deemed too silly to merge
