HI Albert, Alex, Tim and the gang,
So I've been happily using dual head now for 2 weeks. Everything's
stable. Thanks for this, it has improved my productivity greatly.
Now for remaining issues, I hope this helps. Feel free to use me to test
suggestions...I'll do what I can. BTW, I've confirmed both of these with
Albert (another T23 dual head user).
1) glxgears is black on Screen 1 (with or without no ScreentoScreen XAA)
2) exiting dual head leaves both monitors powered off. Fn-F7 required to
power on the main LCD again.
Thanks again,
Phil
P.S. Anyone know if there's a wrapper out there that uses X --probeonly
or something to see if there's actually another 'head' attached and then
start the server with the appropriate 'layout'? When I took my laptop
home this weekend, I had windows in never-never land...and the damn
gnome-window applet's are sooo broken.
