Yes, panning seems to be the default for the radeon MergedFB.
Indeed, it's even documented in man radeon: (This doesn't make it better though.) Option "MergedNonRectangular" "boolean" If you are using MergedFB with two modes of different sizes, turn this option on to keep the smaller head from scrolling within the larger virtual desktop [...] The default value is FALSE. I have added Option "MergedNonRectangular" in the radeon Device section. Unfortunately MergedNonRectangular seems to be buggy - it removes only about 1/3 of the invisible section :-( and the screen is still scrolling around...
radeonrandr12 would be worth a try for Christian, since panning is not supported (yet) by RANDR 1.2. But ...
1) radeonrandr is an experimental driver (completely unsupported)
I'd say _very_ experimental. I just tested it - clicking the test button in sax2 froze my laptop :-/ (Yes, really frozen. Not even SysRQ worked.)
2) don't complain if apps are started in the (now) hidden area and you can't see them any longer
I never had this problem on 10.2 (with xinerama), so this is my smallest worry ;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
