Bug#621666: xserver-xorg-video-radeon: video playback only displays/updates on one monitor when both are enabled with xrandr

Thanks for this info!  Attached is the output of xvinfo when external
monitor is plugged in.  It appears that both overlay and textured video
are supported, though overlay is listed first.  (on my EeePC900 with an
intel chipset, textured is listed first)

I note that VLC allows me to turn off video overlay support entirely
(Tools > Preferences > Video > "Accelerated video output (Overlay)".
Unchecking that box lets me render the video on both monitors concurrently.

I don't see how to do the same thing in totem, though.

Hm, actually, when i *re-checked* that box in vlc i can still play the
video on both screens somehow.  So maybe it's just a problem with totem?
 Should i be re-assigning this bug somehow?

(note: the problem with frames not getting updated (as opposed to just
not appearing on one monitor or another) appears to be limited to a .mov
(H.264/AVC video+raw stereo audio codecs) file; transcoding the file to
.ogv (theora+vorbis codecs) via ffmpeg2theora resolved the frame-update
problem.  I'll see if i can figure out how to report that problem
separately)
