</div>There are two sections in the FAQ on the wiki that might help:<br>
<a href="http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_questions" target="_blank">http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_questions</a><br>
<br>
I would start with the Configuration/Multi-head & Workspaces one, to see<br>
if mod-w mod-e, mod-shift-e, etc., and workspace switching works as it's<br>
supposed to. If not then you could go to the Multi-head troubleshooting part<br>
to make sure your haskell x11 was compiled with xinerama support, but I<br>
suspect that your haskell setup is okay, from what you describe.<br>
<br>
If default xmonad screen and workspace handling isn't working correctly I'd<br>
suspect your multi-head is actually not in a xinerama configuration but<br>
rather using separate X displays. Unfortunately I know nothing about ATI<br>
xinerama configuration, hopefully others can step in if that does turn out<br>
to be the problem.<br>
