Display problem on 1st monitor in pseudo-xinerama
I've used the recent snapshot for the r200 to setup pseudo-xinerama (also known as MergedFB) for my 2 monitors. It works well for the most part so far.
There are however a few issues.
1) The first monitor has areas of bright blue (usually only seen when they are on top of something dark). They don't seem to always be at the same spot so it seems to be some kind of rendering issue. I have tried changing the refresh, and I went to the website for both monitors (even though the second one has no problem) and I made sure that the V/H refresh are set fine. I've also tried lower refreshes just in case that might work but no luck.
2) My second monitor, yesterday could hold a fullscreen window of mplayer. But today I can't get it to. I can drag the mplayer screen over there when it's not full screen, but as soon as I hit fullscreen it pops up back on the first monitor. I prefer to have video showing on the other so I can use my first monitor to work as it's closer and I can read it better.
That's pretty much it. Anyone have any ideas?
Here is my XF86Config-4 file just for kicks
