dual head nvidia board config for two monitors
Getting the two monitors two work side by side as one really wide screen was darn easy. What other configs can be done? Can the following be done? how? login once to get both monitors going on the same login. Each monitor is its own screen. I got this running fine with two independent "Screen" sections both contained in the XFree config layout. Just cant get the cursor into the 2nd screen....

I think you would need to attach and reference a second mouse and keyboard (probably USB). Then specify that the second keyboard and mouse go to that second screen. Jeremy
Is this what you are looking for in your XF86Config-4 or xorg.conf file: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Multiple Monitors" Screen 0 "Screen 0" LeftOf "Screen 1" Screen 1 "Screen 1" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" Option "Xinerama" "off" Option "Clone" "off" EndSection This will give you 2 independent screens, but you can't move windows between screens.

You should have something like the following: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "2 Screens" Screen 0 "Screen0" Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection The "RightOf" directive means that to get the mouse pointer to the second desktop you need to move it off the right side of the first desktop. Hope that helps, Brad
