Wait, how is a monitor that appears as two to the OS a problem? We've had multi monitor support for a long time, this is just the panels/pixels stitched closer

- jrockway 12y agoThe problem is you'll have two copies of your desktop (or whatever you choose to have 1-per-monitor of) on one physical screen, because the OS thinks it's two monitors when it's actually one monitor. To make this go away, all that clever support needs to be disabled, which is actually currently impossible in Linux!
