Here is my XF86Config-4 file pasted below. I use a Thinkpad A31 with 15" screen and external 15" Flat panel monitor. My setup has 2 complete desktops...one for each screen. The mouse freely travels between each. This is a great setup. But I can't drag applications across to each other because they are independant desktops. The laptop display runs at 1400x1050 and the external runs at 1024x768. I am not an expert at all and this was put together by researching the web for a couple of hours so there may be stuff in here that's not right. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section "Files" FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server # if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" EndSection Section "Module" Load "GLcore" Load "bitmap" Load "dbe" Load "ddc" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "int10" Load "record" Load "speedo" Load "type1" Load "vbe" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device[0]" Driver "radeon" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Screen 0 Option "NoDDC" Option "Rotate" "off" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device[1] Driver "radeon" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Screen 1 Option "Rotate" "off" Option "NoDDC" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor[0]" HorizSync 30-90 VertRefresh 40-80 Option "DPMS" UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor[1]" HorizSync 30-90 VertRefresh 40-80 Option "DPMS" UseModes "Modes[1]" EndSection Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[0]" Modeline "1400x1050" 61.19 1024 1040 1216 1400 768 768 777 802 Modeline "1024x768" 65.0 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync Modeline "1400x1050" 162.08 1400 1480 1768 1896 1050 1050 1063 1097 -hsync -vsync EndSection Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[1]" Modeline "1400x1050" 61.19 1024 1040 1216 1400 768 768 777 802 Modeline "1024x768" 65.0 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync Modeline "1400x1050" 162.08 1400 1480 1768 1896 1050 1050 1063 1097 -hsync -vsync EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen[0]" Device "Device[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1400x1050" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen[1]" Device "Device[1]" Monitor "Monitor[1]" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "multi" Screen "Screen[0]" Option "Clone" "off" Option "Xinerama" "off" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Generic Mouse" "SendCoreEvents" Screen "Screen[1]" LeftOf "Screen[0]" EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
