As a follow up to my earlier mail I've found that you can now put the xorg.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and it will get read from there so that's solved that problem. My new problem is slightly different in that as the display is treated as two screens how do I get the screen background and panels to spread across as a single screen? i.e. at the moment my desktop background is shown as two identical images one on each screen, what I want is one background image spread across both screens. Also any panels are limited to one screen rather then being spread across both screens. I know ATI had a concept called 'Big Desktop' for these situations but I could never get it working, does anyone have any ideas or workarounds to get it working now with an NVidia card? Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: [email protected]
