           Summary: Allow non-rectangular virtual desktop with radeon
                    MergedFB dual headed mode
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Driver/Radeon
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: keith at cs.oswego.edu


I have an LCD and a monitor. I set both to 1024x768. I use MergedFB mode to get
one giant desktop which spans the two, so my desktop is 2048x768. I want to
create a virtual desktop which contains 2048*768 pixels, but they are not in a
rectangle. They are in a shape like this:

      +-----+
+-----+     |
|           |
|     +-----+
+-----+

The lower-left box's pixels would be shown on my laptop LCD screen. The
upper-right box's pixels would be shown on my external monitor. This way, my
desktop matches the physical locations of my computer screens, and when I move
my mouse between the two screens, for example, it stays at the same vertical
visual position.
