Thanks for the advice, but I get the same results with "Virtual 3840 3840". I also tried commenting out the "Viewport 0 0" line, with no effect. To give some more detail, I'm currently working in single monitor mode with the following lines in my .xinitrc: xrandr --output DVI-0 --off xrandr --output DVI-1 --mode 1600x1200 xrandr --output DVI-1 --mode 1920x1200 The first line turns off output the right monitor, as otherwise windows will still appear there. The second two lines are necessary to get the left monitor to work. With just the first line, nothing is output to either monitor. With just the last two lines, the left monitor works, the right monitor does not, but X11 still thinks the right monitor is connected. Jeremy
