Comment 8 for bug 1401623

I'm on 14.10 using an AMD Radeon R9 290X, and having the same issue. The fact that we're supposed to make new bug reports every time someone's hardware is slightly different or a new version of Ubuntu comes out is mildly infuriating, because it makes it seem as if there are fewer people with this issue than there really are. I've seen tons of bug reports with almost no activity, probably because people just went to nVidia and never bothered to check back here.

This problem seems to happen with all AMD display adapters when there are 2 or more monitors, with very few exceptions. I feel that studying those exceptions separately from when it *doesn't* work will be more helpful, because not working seems to be the norm.

If there is a 'central' bug report for this issue that hasn't been marked 'invalid' because it was started on an old version of Ubuntu, please point me to it. If you tell me to just make another bug report, please tell me why that will help in any way, shape, or form. Seriously. It's not helped the countless people so far, and the chances of it helping me seem nil.
