I tried to get xinerama work on my Acer Travelmate 662 The mouse successfully was able to move from one screen to another, but it looked like there was still only one desktop. I didn't see the windows in the second screen but whatever I did the input signals got delivered to the first screen so I was actually able to drag a window from screen one by clicking/moving "nothing visible" on screen two. Tried to play around with the modes but basically this was the configuration I tested.

Created attachment 2598 [details] xorg xinerama config this configuration works one time after boot up
the hardware mouse pointer is displayed without any problem, though the underlying desktop looks shifted to the bottom.. X0/Y0 starts at about Y1024, everything below looks like wrong mapped memorycontent..

Comment on attachment 2598 [details] xorg xinerama config should be 16 bit not 24 like in the first file..
I'm having a hard time understanding the actual problem. Have you got a screenshot that shows it ? Also, can you attach a log from /var/log/Xorg.0.log so I can see how things are setup.
Created attachment 2657 [details] mouse is able to drag a window which is displayed at a wrong position
