Hello, I have a 64 bit F18 system that worked beautifully after the clean install. After an update some time ago, I have had an issue with the dual head setup.
Before the problem occurred, I would boot and get all messages on the left screen until the X server started. If the screen saver locked the screen, the unlock box would be on the left screen (screen 0). I could run KDE with effects enabled. Due to work schedule, I couldn't deal with the problem before now. Now, when I boot, both displays are in mirror mode. When the X server kicks in and KDE starts, the display goes to side by side as expected. The desktop works as side by side when I can drag windows between the monitors and virtual desktops as expected. I cannot run any of the KDE desktop effects. When the screen saver kicks in, it is two different screen savers on each monitor, not one across both. If I move the trackball, I get a unlock box on both screens but they are not mirrored. If I enter a password in to one box, the desktop unlocks. I cannot use anything that requires a full screen such as You Tube videos in a browser or any game. I have gone through the settings in Grub and tried different desktop settings. This setup has worked flawlessly for two years now. Due to this issue, the system runs slower when moving between screens or virtual desktops. Lack of full screen is a pain for some things. No Tux Extreme racer unless I want mirrored action.
