This patch series addresses two critical bugs that prevent dual-head
from working in a linux-linux environment. (All testing done on F20
fully updated as guest, host and client).
We (myself and a colleague) have been using patched versions of qxl.ko
and xorg-qxl for a week or so and these patches definitely solve the
problems addressed by the invididual patches.
Patches are against F20 package source.
Please consider reviewing/accepting these patches without which dual
head cannot be used(*) in linux.
These patches or previous versions have been sent to the list but I
have not received any feedback.
(*) by coincidence, dual head with small-ish monitor sizes does work
better on gnome3 than it does with other DE (ie. MATE or fluxbox) due
simply to luck in the order that the monitors/surfaces ioctl are
called, but not due to any design.
I've opened/updated the freedesktop.org bugs with these two patches and
some commentary. It would be helpful if the maintainers of the
respective code bases (qxl.ko and xorg-qxl) could comment on these two
patches or at least a "resend in one month - we're really busy" or
something.
Bugs:
Multiple monitors broken in desktops other than gnome3 :

xorg crashes due to assert() when a large "image" is created :
