Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
TRying to setup a dual-head setup, with a laptop and a flat-panel TFT. Using the Monitor Preferences panel, I enable the TFT panel and place it to the right of the laptop screen. If I hit apply, the screen on the laptop shows the correct image, but the TFT panel remains black. The screen is on, though, as I can move the mouse-cursor to the TFT panel. The tip of the cursor keeps aligned to the left edge of the TFT panel, though. The only way to get a working dual-head setup is to configure the screens in a stacked configuration, as shown in the attached screenshot. This, however, is a nuisance.
