I have two HP 2511x HD displays connected to my Ubuntu Studio workstation, currently running 18.04.

With the previous ATI Radeon All-in-Wonder card some applications were able to display over all parts of the two displays, some were not.  Windows would vanish about 1/3 of the way to the right on the secondary display.  For example, "xterm" had no problems but "Terminal Emulator" did.  I replaced the All-in-Wonder, with its 256Mb of memory, with an AMD Radeon 5550 card with 1GB of RAM. (Probably needed anyway, the All-in-Wonder fell apart, as others have, when removed as bad solder joints failed).

This solved the problem.

I am hoping that this change also solves my problems with upgrading to 18.10 which failed with the previous card (blank display at first login screen, no display problems before).
