A recent update of X.org fixed the problem in Edgy Eft (a.k.a Ubuntu 6.10 a.k.a. Ubuntu Unstable a.k.a. the Development release). I'd been using Edgy for a few weeks and only today tried to get it working again and to my surprise it just worked (had to set up Xinerama & whatnot of course).
Disclaimer: I am not advocating that you run out and upgrade to Edgy Eft... there are lots and lots of updates (it is synced to Debian Unstable until a 'freeze date' I believe), and so things are liable to break after updates. To the Dapper X.org maintainers, there are 2 ways of fixing this I guess: 2. Patch source of existing xserver-xorg* packages as others have here (or even grab their package, check it's OK and use it!) 1. Push the packages from Edgy into the 6.06 repos (not sure if any dependencies on other, newer packages that are only in Edgy would be a problem though) -- XOrg dualhead regression https://launchpad.net/bugs/36461 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
