(*) Clone works fine, I was even able to set 1600x1200 on 1st monitor

for each display. I didn't find a way to try Xinerama/TwinView using
standard KDE config tool.
Unfortunately since I need TwinView, I will most likely still need
proprietary driver :( I'm tracking
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487356 so hopefully when
it's fixed I'll be able to switch to nouveau.
You can use the command line 'xrandr' tool, it should do the job. It's
quite simple to use and you can script it up - it's just something like
'xrandr --output FOO --right-of output BAR'.
The only wrinkle is that nouveau doesn't yet handle dynamic framebuffer
resizing for side-by-side setups, so you'll need an xorg.conf with a
Screen section with Virtual lines for the resolution you need. We really
need to document this somewhere...
Sorry for delay replying, I have been traveling this week. I'll try it
when I have some time... Sounds good!
Bad news:
1. Selecting "rotate screen" in KDE display properties kills X
immediately. Anybody else seeing this on nouveau?
File a bug on it! Actually we added a rotation test case for the Radeon
test day since someone mentioned it's often an interesting failure, but
it was too late for the nouveau day.

2. I had X hang up on me once with two (out of three) blinking diodes on
the keyboard. The only way out was reboot :(
# lspci -v
I rather prefer lspci -nn, as it actually gives the PCI ID of the
hardware (which is what identifies it uniquely).
Thanks for the hint, result included in bug report.
