Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-core
The supplied -p1 patch to xserver-xorg-core -1.2.0 fixes the problem of Xinerama not respecting display boundries in multi-monitors.
When using dual/triple head cards, xinerama doesn't respect the monitor's display boundries when clicking the "expand" button. (application spreads across multiple monitors instead of single display)
The patch I submitted below fixes the problem thanks to Bernhard (Jaxxon) on the nvNews forum.
See this thread's post #10 for how to use: http://
I also submitted this patch upstream to Xorg.

These patches to the xserver, fix the problem of xinerama not respecting display boundries. For instance when multi-monitors are used, clicking "expand" spreads the application across multiple screens instead of the single monitor. This problem is especially noticeable with dual/triple head cards are used in conjunction with xinerama and lower level controls like nVidia's TwinView.
