[Bug 885991] Re: no window manager on second screen for dual head mode

 

Hi James, 
I think this is a generic issue for all platforms. With AMD graphics card and fglrx driver, this problem can be easily reproduced with steps below:
- connect two monitors to the graphics card
- install the fglrx driver
- run aticonfig --initial=dual-head -f (two screen sections will be specified in xorg.conf)
- restart X
- there is no window manager on the second screen, and the display is totally white for the second screen (LP#885989, this issue can be workarounded by kill the nautilus process)

BTW, "DISPLAY=:0.1 compiz &" can be used to launch compiz on the second
screen.
