Bug Description
I have a Radeon HD4650 and use the open source xf86-video-ati drivers, v. 6.14.6. I know, disper is primarily intended for use with nvidia cards, but I gave it a go anyway. I found the nice gnome 3 add-on "Disper Displays", which uses disper...
I can confirm that disper -s and -S work and that it correctly recognizes the display modi (resolutions and frequencies). However, issuing 'disper -e -t left' or '... -t right' makes the right (always the right screen, doesn't matter which is the primary and which is the secondary screen) screen unusable. If I move the mouse cursor on the right screen, it stays on the very left side of the screen and I can only move it up and downwards. Also the windows displayed are somewhat distorted...
disper --version: 0.3.0
running on Arch Linux
primary display is a 1920x1200 IPS and secondary is a 1920x1080 tv. (and primary is dvi-1, secondary dvi-0, weird...)

Just took a screenshot and the virtual desktop size is apparently only that of the primary screen(19020x1200). It is attached, shot after 'disper -e -t left'. What one sees in the screenshot is actually what appears on the tv (second screen), not on the primary. I can attach a photograph of what is shown on the primary screen if someone is interested.
