           Summary: [xorg-edgers] openoffice.org-presenter-console displays
                    on the wrong monitor
           Product: xorg
           Version: 7.4
          Platform: x86 (IA32)

            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/Radeon
        AssignedTo: xorg-driver-ati at lists.x.org

Binary package hint: xorg

Using the latest ati drivers on a Rv535 (Mobility Radeon X2300) video card.
When using metacity and trying to display an openoffice impress presentation
with a dual monitor setup, the presenter console is displayed on top of the
presentation. That is on top of the actual presentation on the second monitor.
This is obviously useless and incorrect. The presenter-console should be
displayed on the laptop (monitor 1) while the presentation should be displayed
on the external monitor (monitor 2).

Interestingly, when I switch window managers to compiz, the behaviour of the
presenter console **magically** is corrected and does not over lay on the
single monitor (monitor 2). It behaves as expected.

I know this presenter console worked with the FGLRX driver in Hardy & Intrepid.
So, I'm thinking that the xorg-xserver-ati (xorg-xserver-radeon) driver is
mis-specifying the monitor 1/monitor 2 designation in how openoffice.org is
quering xorg-xserver-ati?

Please let me know if you have any troubleshooting, or need more information.

I orginally reported this bug in Lanchpad for Ubuntu, but am reporting it here
as it may be an "upstream" issue.
