Hi Folks,
Situation, 9.10 KDE, Nvidea card. One 19" monitor on analogue, one 22" monitor on digital.
As "Twin View" everything works. The 19" is off to my left and is treated as X console 0. The 22" wide screen is directly in front of me, is the one I use for photo editing and is X console 1.
Now, when I play a game, taking it up to full screen results in it being spread across screens. Not good.
I converted them to separate screens, but the system took the 19" as the KDE desktop and the 22", ended up as a blank X window ... meaning the mouse went in to it perfectly ... I had an X instead of a pointer ... but I couldn't do anything with it ... not even create a terminal session on it.
... and no way to tell the system to take the 22" as the main monitor and disregard the 19".
In other words, all attempts to swap the two monitors has failed.
What I have done is to edit the xorg.conf file, but no joy.
Here is the standard xorg.conf, with twin view enabled, that works ...
So ... any ideas please ... I'm getting a crick in my neck trying to play UT2004 :-)
