Hey, I just upgraded my laptop from Fedora 7 to Fedora 10. It's got an Intel 945(GM?) graphics card. In Fedora 7 I could use the i810 xorg driver and setup a dual-head environment where I'd get the gnome panel on both screens (laptop at 1600x1050 and external monitor at 1024x768), :0.0 and :0.1. Now that I've upgraded my old 2-screen xorg configuration no longer works and I can't figure out how to get an equivalent configuration working. Please don't suggest the xrandr route. It has issues for multiple reasons: 1) I can't put the screens side-by-side, only top and bottom, but more importantly, 2) the VGA monitor is "Screen 0" which means GNOME would wander there instead of remaining on my laptop screen, 3) Only one of the monitors would get the gnome panel, and 4) Using "fullscreen" would take up both monitors, not just the one (1024x768). Any suggestions? I'm not against compiling code if I need to, but I would certainly prefer not to have to if I can avoid it.
