[NTLUG:Discuss] Re: [LeapList]Multi-Head on Dell Inspiron 4100 w/ GeForce2Go chipset - the plot thickens

[David Simmons]

Guys,

I've been able to make some headroom (have the second monitor connected
- up and running) BUT it's a 'clone' of the primary screena and not
'spanned'...even though my /etc/X11/XF86Config contains:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Multihead layout"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" LeftOf "Screen1"
        Screen      1  "Screen1" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
        InputDevice    "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore"
        Option      "Xinerama" "on"
        Option      "Clone" "off"
EndSection

It's still just 'cloning' the screen - I've tried both the options in
the Dual Head Desktop setup 'spanning desktops' or 'individual desktops'
doesn't seems to change?

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help/insight! - Dave
