Hey, folks. Just wanted to flag up this bug before we hit the change deadline:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623824
it seems that the default policy for multiple monitors in current F14 is not to use them at all (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623824#c15 ). On the face of it, this seems like an unintentional change from previous policy. Is this actually the case? If so, can someone submit a fix, quick? :) If it's an intentional change, it should be announced/documented for the release...
Now that you mention it (and I might be hallucinating) I think I've noticed this when in the office on my docking station when I boot up in the morning but when I log in I get my usual (saved?) config of spanning of both screens (I'm not sure if that is due to a historical saved config). When I resume (even when docking from not being in the docking station) it seems to come back to dual screen just fine. I didn't really notice the lack of second screen for login as I'm generally not there that long and it sort of seems eco to have only one screen to deal with a login dialog as long as it restores the default for the profile or defaults to using both for a new profile.

PS massive kudos to X/power and other developers for the last couple of releases with perfect dual screen in F-13 (and even better in F-14) and good suspend (looking great in F-14) it makes the week at work much nicer (despite crappy BIOS ACPI tables!).
