Re: Gnome on mulitdisplay matters.

To get GDM properly working i've been obliged to set its XineramaScreen
var to 1 (the 2nd and last screen). Other it runs the same way has Gnome.
Hmm, this sounds like it might be a client (GTK?) issue after all.
Does Option "NoAccel" work around the problem?
I've tried with the NoAccel option set to true and false.
If I set it to False both GDM and Gnome work improperly.
- GDM show the greeter background on both screens but only one is really
active (the one on the second screen).
- Then I log in and Gnome display windows on the second screen only. The
first still displays the GDM greeter background, but 'active' windows
for the mouse are even correctly place (the panel in undisplay on the
first screen but present for the mouse).
If I set if to True GDM goes right but Gnome still fails (but the best
as ever since now).
Since it might not be a Xinerama problem because the mouse works as
expected, but, for example, if I try to grab the desktop's content,
starting by the middle-top of the left screen and going to the
middle-bottom of the right screen, the selection is displayed only on
the first screen.

It works as if the two displays were supperposed on the second screen. If finnally wonder if my board was not damaged, so i've plugged it onto an other computer, running win...., but it works (as) perfectly (as possible) on this IS (InOperating System ;-)).
Thank for your ideas.
Nicolas.
PS - to Michel Dänzer : I didn't relized yet you were the author of the dri-trunk pakages. I get the following warning on my console when i used your dri modules:
Skipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules-dri-trunk/extensions/libGLcore.a:m_debug_clip.o": No symbols found
Skipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules-dri-trunk/extensions/libGLcore.a:m_debug_norm.o": No symbols found

Skipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules-dri-trunk/fonts/libspeedo.a:spencode.o": No symbols found
I not shure if it's a matter in the package or a miss configuration from my side.
I don't its linked to the current problem but I wanted you to be aware of this (but perhaps you were). And, please, excuse me for this "double" mails.
