I do not know what distribution you are using. If you use Debian or Ubuntu, the dexconf utility will put on demand the appropriate settings. When you configure the multiple displays from the GUI (System/Preferences/Screen resolution), you will be prompted if you want to have this line added to xorg.conf. Note also an issue with the 965, http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10479#c6 In order to enable compiz, the resolution should be < 2048x2048. After that, you can change the size with xrandr. This is probably a compiz issue rather than an intel driver issue. The stub xorg.conf created by dexconf looks like =========== Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" SubSection "Display" Virtual 1920 1200 EndSubSection EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" EndSection =========== _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
