    Extended desktop will only work when logging on as root

    Ok I know it's a security issue but the only way I can make my extended desktop work is when logging on as root. Seems like there is something missing or something wrong with the rights of my normal user or something wrong with my xorg.conf.

    Any help is much appreciated. Here's my xorg.conf:

    Code:
    # /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

    Re: Extended desktop will only work when logging on as root

    I don't see anything in your xorg.conf file that strikes me as unusual, although I'm not too sure about the screen layout. Moreover, when you can do something as root that you can't do as an ordinary user, it generally indicates a permission problem somewhere. For example, xorg.conf should be "-rw-r--r-- root root"
