Hmm, I'm not hitting this particular issue - my display size is set
correctly. I'm running gentoo with the latest ebuilds for xorg
(xorg-x11-7.2 and xorg-server-1.3.0.0). Perhaps that's an issue with
only some drivers? I'm using the proprietary nvidia driver and have it
set to ignore all EDID config which might prevent me from seeing the
display size issue, since the bug reports all say that the DDC values
are used to override the display.

There definitely has been a change in the way Xinerama activation is
being reported though, since the Myth code for detecting Xinerama
hasn't changed on my system, only the Xorg version.
