Hi Predrag
I got curious about your setup and googled a bit.
Since we have Updated to the latest X.org pretty much without any big
patches appart from Compatibility the latest X.org guides for linux also
work for us. Apart from Path name differences. e.g they seperate
xorg.conf into multiple files we usually don't
Looking into the arch wiki I found that xinerma has been replaced on
Nvidia cards by TwinView. And they seem to have a configuration that
pretty much sounds like the thing you want under [1].
You might also want to look a little bit into[2] for background info.

Maybe this helps:

Hi Andreas,
tried and got 2 separated X windows session (so, was not able to move
windows across - which I already had once. See attached conf and log
files).
Right now, I have no xorg.conf - but still 2 monitors are treated as 1
screen - so full screen is displayed in the middle...
Thanks anyway.
With best regards.

Regarding script:
$ locate display-setup-script
[nothing]
$ pkg search -r display-setup-script [nothing]
Where to find it?
I meant /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf setting 'display-setup-script'.
So,
you are able to play full screen video on one monitor only?
Which graphic card you use (I mean, if nvidia, did you used
nvidia-settings)?
Yes, if second monitor (TV) is unavailable, Mate uses just primary
monitor. In both cases I can play full-screen video with vlc. I
haven't used nvidia-settings tool, can look share xorg.conf or
Xorg.0.log in the evening.
I've found out that my desktop doesn't have xorg.conf and I see the
following in Xorg.0.log (see attachment).

Hi AlP, all...
I just wanna share my frustration (as well as xorg.conf and Xorg.log.0
files). I have also tried configuration w/o xorg.conf - nothing has
worked as expected.
I just gave up. So, to summarize:
a) under gnome (before mate) I was able to use xinerama and to have 2
different x screens on NVIDIA Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] card
b) changed to MATE and 2 screens suddenly were "glued" into single
space, so I have tried following (in order to get separate screens
working):
1) removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf - no luck
2) called nvidia-settings (and tried also nvidia-xconfig) which
have created xorg.conf file, but no luck in splitting screens (and
being able to move applications between them - two completely
separated/isolated x session is possible - that is not goal)
3) performed modifications as it was suggested by Ken Mays (in
separate e-mail thread) and as it is suggested in
http://http.download.nvidia.com/solaris/340.102/README/configtwinview.html
and http://www.firstalt.co.uk/help/nvidia.html - but still there is no
change (I always get "(WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "TwinView" is not used")
4) looks like System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Monitors
detects both monitors properly, their position, resolution, etc... but
it is not of use in this case.
So, I have been stuck with one huge desktop, combining two monitors of
different resolution and full screen playing on both (centered between
them) - very ugly for watching.
Many thanks for help. There is nothing to document unfortunately.
With best regards.
