The second screen always copy to the laptop screen and cover it.

I find a strange phenomenon, it may be a big bug.

I have a ThinkPad and a DELL monitor, and I installed catalyst-utils-pxp and catalyst-hook while I use i3 as my windows manager.

When I use Intel driver, xrandr works very well with the dual screen.

However, when I use AMD driver and xrandr to implement dual screen, the strange phenomenon will happens.

If I am active at the laptop's window, or take a screenshot, it looks very normal, here is the screenshot: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-AWKs … enShot.png

But if I am active at the DELL screen, <b>the second screen will be copied at the laptop screen and cover it!</b>, here is the image: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-0lpP … 214911.jpg. However the screenshot is still normal, or I active or fresh the laptop screen again then the strange phenomenon will disappears.

I think there must be something copy the second screen to the laptop screen and cover it when the second screen is active. Do you have any idea? Thank you!

Forgive my poor English please.
