The G450 doesn't have palettes on the second head, which is why you can't get depth 8, DirectColor or Gamma correction on that head.

The second head doesn't show any change in gamma even though xgamma reports the newly assigned values on screen 1, screen 0 works correctly. _ Free email with personality!

The gamma can be changed separately. This is necessary because different monitors may need a different correction. While there is only one logical screen, xgamma's screen argument will reflect physical screens in a Xinerama configuration. Eg. xgamma -s 0 -g 2.0 xgamma -s 1 -g 2.0 Many other XFree86-specific extension like vidmode and DGA also reference physical screens rather than logical ones.
