Bug#584497: Seconded
Just wanted to point out that I have the same problem here. While the differently sized desktops worked well with X on Squeeze they don't after upgrading to Wheezy. If you move a window into the black spot of the smaller monitor then you have no chance to find it and draw it back. Also icons put there are hidden. I'm working with a Lenovo X201 laptop in a docking station with a larger external monitor. With Squeeze I could switch off the laptop's monitor and just use the external monitor. Now if I try that both monitors go dark and after a while the Gnome display settings dialog reappears as I didn't confirm the new settings. Ubuntu 11.04 is suffering from the same problem which was the reason I went back to Debian on the laptop.

Bug#627568: [xserver-xorg-video-nouveau] Dual head problem: Flicker on 2nd monitor using GeForce 8500 GT
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Just as a little bit of extra info:- I think there is a problem with the reading of the EDID on the 2nd graphics card output with the nouveau driver on this nVidia card. I tried a much more modern monitor in the 2nd output and there was still no reading of the EDID. (I ran: xrandr --prop ) The drm_kms_helper.poll=0 kernel parameter still fixed the blinking. The primary output on my card is a standard VGA connector. This 2nd output (physically) is a DVI-I output running in analogue mode. I use an adapter to change the connection to VGA as I don't have a monitor with a connector of any type other than VGA. I don't know if this adapter has a bearing on the monitor's ability to report its EDID to the card?

You could try to connect the monitor to a different computer to find out. Cheers, Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Ok,so now using an active converter (Sapphire with Eyefinity logo), but still the same problem, perhaps it could be a bug after all. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
