My videocard is an ATI 6850 latest experimental proprietary drivers are installed (13.8)
I have 2 monitor attached to it (HDMI, DVI to VGA)
My desktop manager is gnome

glxgears
20888 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4177.494 FPS
fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
6826 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1365.200 FPS

i have over 1000 fps even full screen on each
When i place a window on the border of the 2 monitor it doesn't repaint as it should on the second. The right screen is repainted every 1-3 seconds.

this is my xorg.conf

I forgot to mention it was working before last wipe but i can't find its xorg.conf anymore.
Thanks for your replies

PS
Screenshots capture the right image that should be seen.
I can see the mouse moving but i can't see the window while dragging it
