Since the recent upgrades, which included both gnome and xorg upgrades,
I have been unable to run dual monitors in xinerama mode. "Cloned"
monitors works fine, but when I try to display in xinerama mode, the
box locks up hard after login, and only a hard reboot will restore
functionality.
I installed kde and ran it to see if it was a problem with gnome, but
it manifested the same problem, so this appears to be a problem with
xorg. One oddity of note - before the upgrade, the right screen never
displayed anything until after I logged in. Now it has a pea soup
green appearance as soon as the X server starts displaying, and it
remains that way until the system locks up.
I'm using the same xorg.conf file that was working previously. Here's
the system details:
There are no errors in the Xorg.0.log.
egrep '(EE|WW)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

Before I go futher, does anyone have dual screens working on 6.0 with
Xorg 6.9.0?
