It looks like my problem was that 'Virtual' in the "Display" SubSection of the "Screen" Section has quietly become mandatory to support multi-monitor configurations. With Xorg 7.4, I had no 'Virtual' size specified and everything worked as expected. The same configuration in Xorg 7.5 causes corruption of the display on the second monitor, whether it is located to the right of or below the primary monitor. Including an appropriate 'Virtual' in each "Display" SubSection has resolved the corruption issue. Note that, although the config file parser allows 'Virtual' in the "Screen" Section, it has no effect there - this appears to be a bug in hw/xfree86/common/xf86Config.c that was introduced in xserver 1.6. --=20 Peter Jeremy --4Ckj6UjgE2iN1+kY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkwFkv0ACgkQ/opHv/APuIejMwCeKeiZSreR3fHDKeORRRLUZxDE rpYAoKYbC+wSdfB8T5Hn64bLVTKpv+5C =MGqz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --4Ckj6UjgE2iN1+kY--
