That sounds like very odd behavior :)  Are you using Xinerama or
something vendor specific like NVIDIA's TwinView?

Hi all !

Sorry for annoying you with a subject you should have spoke about many times, but I cannot find a solution by myself so please help me.
Here is the problem:

When i start a Gnome session with my dual head conf. the sensitive windows of the desktop (the ones you can click) are displayed on one screen, and there content (the pictures, text etc...) is displayed on the other screen (respectively the left [screen0 for X] and right [screen 1]).
I can't find in the archives anything like this.

It seem not to be linked with the window manager since the matters appears with both Metacity and Sawfish Window managers.

Can someone help.

Thanks, Nicolas.


No I'am just using Xinerama !

My card is an ATI Radeon 7000 (quite old but I thought it should be easier to make it work :-( ).

What version of XFree86 are you using? The radeon driver in 4.3.0 might
work better than older versions.

I've tried Daniel Stone's backport for Woody and i'am currently trying with the unstable packages (i.e. the 4.3.0-0ds2.0.0woody2), without anymore success. I've tried with and without the dri-trunk (downloaded from http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-trunk-sid/ ) (Note that since dri is actually disable when using xinerama it should not be link the my problem but...)

I've double check my hardware configuration, the logs says nothing relevant (see joint file) while probing it.

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.


Nicolas.

PS: I'am using a flat panel and a CRT screen but i've never read that it could matter in the numerous mails-lists in which I've search for a solution.
