I'm using KDE for my setup. I had two monitors working in Suse just
following the instructions from Nvidia but I'd rather not go back there
unless I have to.<br>
<br>
I tried and loved fluxbox on a live cd (seemed oh so fast and lite).
First thing I tried was getting that via apt on a bare Debian install.
I missed a couple things and in my attempts to get X working, installed
KDE hoping it would take care of that and can't switch back. But I
don't care much about that till I fix the multi monitor setup.<br>
<br>
For the most part... once I get the x config right, window managers
won't matter much will they? As far as basic usability?<br>
<br>
Lets get the wiki going!!! I can install one for us if you change the
DNS to point there (64.141.135.25)... wiki.grlug.org? If we don't index
it in google, might not even have to worry about wiki spam till we get
further down the road.<br>

on-board DVI and VGA with dualies and I can move the mouse (will post
config later) from one screen to the other in GDM, but it seizes after
I log in.
Strange thing is, if I use XDMCP and login to another linux server
with KDE as my default desktop, dual monitors with extended desktop
works fine. Locally, on Gnome, the cursor doesn't travel from one
desktop to the other. Instead, I see the tip of the mouse's pointer
on the adjacent side of the other screen, but that's it. I won't
traverse across. I can't even move windows from one to the other.
They disappear as they enter the desktop of the other screen.
So maybe we'll both find a fix between my config and yours Dave. :-)
I'll have to look if Xinerama is on...

<pre wrap="">Well, I kinda want to work out the bugs by hand on the config. I've
gotten it down pretty good, but I'm missing one little thing.
I'm not looking to run the nvidia in twinview, but I'll turn on Xinerama
after I get it all to work. If I just turn it on right now, I get cloned
displays on the nvidia. Actually I haven't tried it since getting the
matrox in. I guess my next step if i can't get this to go is Xinerama.

<pre wrap="">Hi Dave,
I run tri-monitor setup on two different setups, both with NVIDIA cards.
Each machine has a dualhead, and then there is a single head card
installed. I run TwinView on the dualhead, and then I turn Xinerama on
so I can get the extended desktop across the other the other monitor.
Why are you turning Xinerama off, do you want each monitor to actually
be it's own desktop environment, rather then utilizing an extended desktop?
