It seems to me a reasonable thing to want. I used to use a similar setup years ago on Sun hardware. But as far as I can tell the driver for the Intel integrated graphics doesn't support multiple X screens in that way. The NVidia driver does, but (of course) only for an NVidia graphics card. On the other hand, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo has a configuration using xinerama and an intel card, so it may depend on the exact card you have (and I think in that case they're trying to get to a single desktop with multiple monitors, but disabling xinerama mode may get you closer to what you want). It might be easier to buy an NVidia or ATI graphics card (after checking for support)... which is even possible on some laptops. Liam -- Liam R. E.
