Some multiple monitor and arbitrary resolution fixes are in drm-next: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux/log/?h=drm-next With f20, you may also need the mutter fix: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711216 For f19, it should be working with drm-next. > Right away 3 major problems go away: > > 1) second "monitor" shows entire workspace (e.g. monitor 1 and 2 combined) > 2) actual mouse position offset up and left from displayed mouse position > 3) qxl/spice crash after disconnecting, which prevents reconnecting to > the VM (although VM quite happy) until "power cycle"' What are the kernel and xorg-qxl driver version ?
