jaraeez Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 (edited) 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 # File generated by XFdrake (rev 57713) # ********************************************************************** # Refer to the xorg.conf man page for details about the format of # this file. # ********************************************************************** Section "Files" # font server independent of the X server to render fonts.

SilverSurfer60 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I am running a similar setup with no problems. The only thing I can see is :- Section "Device" Identifier "device0" VendorName "nVidia Corp."

I am using a different board mind you. I don't know if that is it but everything else very familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowator Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I think you need to remove the Clone If you want them completey independent you end up with 2xDesktop (~/Desktop and @/Desktop1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaraeez Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I think you need to remove the CloneIf 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaraeez Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Hi, Yes I do have two desktop folders (Desktop & Desktop1). I've also taken out the Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection as I realised that I don't need this (read that it may even cause problems) & since rebooted & all is fine (as far as I'm aware!!)
