If Ubuntu doesn't want to support a feature that used to work and now
doesn't, please say so.
The current arrangement is a loss of functionality. An older driver --
and many other drivers for other hardware -- was capable of creating a
:0.0 and a :0.1 which is what the X window system has supported for
decades. The benefit of this on a modern PC is that it provides two
independant desktops which suit some kinds of workflow.
Unfortunately, RandR does not support this and that is my complaint. I
wish it did. The developers of this hardware driver have chosen to
remove a significant (albeit lesser used) feature and I thought Ubuntu
might care about that.
The only hack was that no "elegant" way to do it with the configuration
file was developed.
