Some or all of those things seem ideal to actually live in user desktop configuration hooey of some sort instead of static system-wide X server setup, so maybe the glorious road leads in that direction?
In fact, yes, yes it does. See the new gnome-display-properties in F9 for some of the bits of user-configured dual-head magic. Thanks to ssp for doing the hard work there.
Right now I need xorg.conf for these things on my desktop Radeon X600 and also my i965 laptop chip:
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
So XVideo works and Render accel works.
In F9 you shouldn't need this EXA should default for intel hw now.
Virtual 3200 1600
So dual-head actually has somewhere to put the second head :-)
This is temporary until we get gpu memory management in place so we can resize the desktops at runtime.
Various options for touchpad, so I can tap-to-click and drag.
These may end going via hal or gconf settings I would assume..
Oh, and per-user dual-head/Xinerama configuration doesn't seem to work so well when the window manager or session manager loads before the dual-head is configured, resulting in all your icons, applications, and gnome-panels being restored overlapped on a single-head.
Sounds like some sort of a race.. I'm sure ssp can figure out how to stop this..
