I have both displays working. The primary display has the panel, plasmoids, etc. It seems to work OK. The secondary display only shows wallpaper. Mouse clicks on the screen are ignored. I can start a program on the second display by running a command in the primary display: "DISPLAY=:0.1 konsole" but this screen does not take keyboard focus. Doing the same with konqueror, the mouse works, but again the keyboard is inactive. Neither of these windows has taskbars at the top, so they cannot be moved. Running GNOME, the dual display works OK, with both screens active. </blockquote> One correction: I'm not running Twinview. When I turn on Twinview in the nvidia-settings applet, I get a single X window over both monitors. I want independent X sessions on each monitor. -- Michael Eager <a href="mailto:eager@eagercon.com" target="_blank">eager@eagercon.com</a> 1960 Park Blvd., Palo Alto, CA 94306 650-325-8077 </blockquote></div> Have you seen this information?
