First I've heard of it.  Is it in Red Hat or XFree86 bugzilla 
anywhere?  Open source drivers don't support dualhead on G400, 
only G450 and G550.  Only thing I can think of might be something 
related to DPI calculation.  That's a complex problem in 
Xineramaland though.  Not knowing the specific problem you're 
refering to though I can't really hypothesize what the cause 
could be.
