Hoy Stephen, Thank you again for your patience.
Unfortunately I haven't made it so far, but I think I can give a more detailed description of my systems behaviour. I've played a bit with the settings you told me and I noticed, that my system supports two monitors to some degree. E.g. I can tell KDE to use different background images for each monitor. I made a view screenshots to demonstrate the problem: Here http://81.169.152.37/screens/xinerama-1.jpeg you can see, that I have two different background pictures. In the systemsettings for the Login-Manager, my two screens are identified as shown here: http://81.169.152.37/screens/xinerama-3.jpeg When I press 'identify Screens' the right one is identified (correctly) as screen '1', the left one is screen '2'. In my systemsettings in the dialog 'Display' if have no signs of having two monitors at all. The dialog is shown here: http://81.169.152.37/screens/xinerama-2.jpeg If I press 'identify outputs' it identifies only one big screen as 'default' as shown here: http://81.169.152.37/screens/xinerama-4.jpeg I would expect the settings for windows opening and maximizing behaviour at this place. It seems like it works half-way. I am still not able to maximize a window to only one monitor and to force new windows to open on screen 1 (left). Here's my complete configuration (changed after your suggestions, I guess I wouldnt need the Monitor-sections anymore...) Do you see a mistake in it? // /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "TwinView" Screen 0 "Default Screen (TwinView)" Option "Xinerama" "off" InputDevice "StandardKeyboard" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "logitechOpticalMouse" "CorePointer" EndSection Section "Files" FontPath "unix/:7100" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "glx" Load "v4l" Load "extmod" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "StandardKeyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" Option "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "logitechOpticalMouse" Driver "mouse" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Name" "Logitech Optical Mouse" Option "Protocol" "explorerps/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "samtronMonitor" VendorName "SAMTRON" ModelName "96P97P(T)" HorizSync 30.0 - 93.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0 EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "belineaMonitor" VendorName "103050" ModelName "Belinea" HorizSync 28.0 - 95.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen (TwinView)" Device "nVidia 8800 GTX (TwinView)" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 EndSubSection EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "nVidia 8800 GTX (TwinView)" Driver "nvidia" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "crt,crt" Option "ConstantDPI" "off" Option "CursorShadow" "true" Option "MetaModes" "1280x960, 1280x960; 1280x960, NULL ; 1152x864, NULL ; 1024x768, NULL ; 800x600, NULL ; 640x480, NULL" Option "NoLogo" "false" Option "NoTwinViewXineramaInfo" "false" Option "RandRRotation" "on" Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "28-95" Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "50-160" Option "TwinView" "on" Option "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection // end of /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
