I posted this reply yesterday to debian-user by mistake. Sorry.
Now i am posting to the debian-laptop list.
Here is my XF86Config-4 file pasted below.
I use a Thinkpad A31 with 15" screen and external 15" Flat panel monitor.
My setup has 2 complete desktops...one for each screen.
The mouse freely travels between each. This is a great setup.
But I can't drag applications across to each other because they are
independant desktops.
The laptop display runs at 1400x1050 and the external runs at 1024x768.
I am not an expert at all and this was put together by researching
the web for a couple of hours so there may be stuff in here that's not right.
