That's too vague. Do you mean two screens combined with Xinerama, or a
single screen with MergedFB Xinerama? To avoid this kind of ambiguities,
it's usually a good idea to provide (at least pointers to) X server
configuration and log files.

Sounds like it could be related to tiling, but that's just a wild guess
without the above mentioned files.

Are you using vesafb or VGA console in that case?

Hard to say, and partly depends on the above. The best guess would
probably be to report it against the X server (the video driver,
specifically) though.
