He has *explicitly* mentioned wanting to use two separate X screens (without having windows from one screen appearing on the other), otherwise he'd also probably just tried twinview instead wrestling with xorg.conf @monitorxxx No idea about the twisted display positions* but in order to have DE and WM on both screens, you've to run them on both screens (.xprofile or whatever) ie. using "-display :0.0" and "-display :0.1" for "pcmanfm --desktop --display :0.0" and whatever WM you're using (openbox?) I guess you're aware that this setup and without xinerama will NOT allow you to move windows across desktops/screens at all - in case you want such, you're indeed better off with nvidia + TwinView or nouveau + xrandr. Nvidia issues are best discussed at http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14 - the binary blob is not part of Xorg and not much appreciated around here either ;-) (yet tbf: it's far better than fglrx and actually still the only sane solution if you want decent OpenGL support. Sorry, now ban me :-P) * 1) here's a good hint: if you do use the nvidia driver, have nvidia-settings write xorg.conf and don't start to write around yourself unless you precisely know what you're doing 2) the visual representation in the dialog maybe broken, important in this setup is only that moving the cursor left out of the right monitor will bring it on the left one and vv.
