Sorry - I forgot this. Check out the output of XFree86 -scanpci

Before the swap around: http://www.renderzone.free-online.co.uk/xfree/xdpyinfo.before Right screen was exact copy of left screen, though no mouse pointer. Cannot move mouse pointer between windows. After the swap around (see last comment): http://www.renderzone.free-online.co.uk/xfree/xdpyinfo.after Full xinerama desktop. All ok. > > I don't see anything wrong in the server output, and nothing > obviously wrong about the XF86Config file. Are you sure that's > the config file that's being used?

That's the correct file, it's the only XF86Config* file on my box. > Further investigation shows that there is some hair in > the code that determines the screen layouts.

A working desktop. In retrospect this seems entirely sensible. One should not be able to reference a screen that exists 'in the future', in terms of config files. I'm sure I read in the docs that items could be declared in any order however... Incidentally, Jared Lyvers mentioned that the server was reporting errors (EE) I believe regarding my video ram only being set to 4MB. Though that is the case, I believe it should be OK to leave it thus, as I have 4MB cards. Thanks for his input. > > Mark. > > Thanks for everyone's help. That's really made a terrible day a lot more fun. Now where did I put my RenderMan renderer source code..? <g> Again, thanks.
