FUD?
Your own boy, Mark Kent, couldn't get it to work out of the box until he
discovered some obscure application.
Here are his own words:
"I had a bit of a problem trying to get to grips with how the dual-monitor
stuff worked, but once I'd found out about the xrandr programme, I
was able to set the screen size on both monitors, and position the TV
"underneath" the monitor. You can position it anywhere, *but*, if you
make the virtual screen size > 2048 x 2048 in any direction, then the
compositing extension will be switched off."
So, once again Roy Schestowitz, you are lying.
BTW you really should scold Mark Kent for posting a fairly accurate review.
Linux zealot advocates should NEVER post about problems with Linux.
You really should scold him.
What piece of work you are Roy Schestowitz.
So who is paying you to post lies and SPAM Roy Schestowitz?
