Hi all,

 

Could somebody please, please take a look at my xorg.conf & tell me where i'm going wrong.

The problem: I have dual view setup with seperate KDE start menus etc.. All is working fine besides one thing I can't get my mouse to move over to the other screen!.

I've change the xorg by hand using bits from an old working xorg.conf from Fedora which was working. Carefully copying what seemed to be relevant to the new xorg.conf.

Here's my current xorg.conf

I am running a similar setup with no problems.

The only thing I can see is :-

 

Section "Device"

Identifier "device0"

VendorName "nVidia Corp."

BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce4 (generic)"

Driver "nvidia"

Option "DPMS"

EndSection

 

Section "Device"

Identifier "device1"

VendorName "nVidia Corp."

BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce4 (generic)"

BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Missing from first declaration

Driver "nvidia"

Option "DPMS"

Screen 1 Missing from first declaration : ' screen 0 '

EndSection

 

I checked my setup which was configured using nvidia utility, when installing the nvidia driver. I am using a different board mind you.

I don't know if that is it but everything else very familiar.

I think you need to remove the Clone

If you want them completey independent you end up with 2xDesktop (~/Desktop and @/Desktop1)

 

Fixed the other issue now. Just renamed .kde. I agree with your logic with regards to 'clone' option but it doesn't seem to matter. I have two independant desktops now even though I didn't remove that option. Probably a wrong input which xorg doesn't recongnise. Anyway thanks for the pointers - Im now a happy dual'er again :D
