I'm using debian 7 with two external displays, and they're seen as a single one.
The side effect is that I have a 3840X1080 resolution and cannot make a program full-screen only on one, pretty annoying...
Did anyone ever came across this?
Xranrd -q give me this:
Code:

2 external screens? sounds tricky.
have you tried playing around with a graphical xrandr frontend, like arandr?
newbish advice, but i find it much easier to use then typing xrandr commands
xrandr only sees two screens, eDP1 having my laptop's native screen resolution, and DP2 having the reolution of my both external screens (3840x1080=1920+1920*1080).
This excludes any other xrandr frontend
Talking about the xorg.conf, that was one of my hopes, but how could this be done?
