I've just upgraded to xorg 1.5 and removed the autodevice setting from my xorg.conf file and after a restart my three monitors which were combined to make a nice large desktop are now 3 separate monitors again.
The only reference I've found about this was someone saying they couldn't get it working. Should it work, and if so, what would I need to do to get my previously working setup working again?

Look into the wiki article on hotplugging and port your configuration to the new hal interface.

All the advice in the wiki is for keyboards and mice, they work fine it is the video that is bust for me.

why should hal configuration destryo twinview? i'm running a dualhead setup with niveau driver here as before. maybe you accidently removed some lines from your xorg.conf. you should diff them.

don't know why it should, but it did!
I can't restart at the moment due to work but I'll be playing again later. If it works for you then at least I know that it should work and it is worth trying to fix it.

On my system twinview got broken due to KDE4 itself. For some reason it wouldn't play nice with the nvidia driver and I couldn't get any type of separate x-session or large desktop. Is this a related issue?

no problem here with twinview. you search the problem in the wrong place.
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Hmh, I've had a lot of problems with evdev - that's why i disabled it in my xorg.conf
Anyway, I'm running KDE 4.1, and KDE 4.2 beta2 with twinview and nvidia drivers. Even if i enable evdev it works properly.
Ability is nothing without opportunity.

I've tried making the change again and done a full system update and now it is working. Got caught out with the keyboard mappings not working but the wiki has instructions on how to fix that so I'll try, if not I'll be disabling it as well.
