To further explain, it is like Xinerama but incompatible. But unlike
Xinerama it is compatible and works with arandr/xrandr. I can resize
on the fly through them. And as said the two monitors are truly
integrated. Even my windowmanager (mate, the gnome2 clone) is not
really aware. It sees two monitors, but cannot distinguish them.
In the serverlayout I have Xinerama Off. It's setup in the device and
screen part.
