nvidia, external monitor and problems maximizing to one screen
I have a thinkpad laptop with nvidia Quadro NVS 140M graphic card, running
unstable with xfce4 desktop.
I'm having issues connecting an external screen.
using nvidia-settings I've managed to get the second screen to work in twinview
mode as an extension to the current screen, or overlapping current screen.
Problem is that as an extension, if I maximize a window, it maximizes to both
desktops. I tried restarting xfwm and starting fvwm and compiz using fusion
icon but it didn't change the behavior.
Tried enabling xinerama in xorg.conf but then nvidia-settings said that it
can't find the xrandr extension and wouldn't enable the second screen.
I also tried adding twinview option to the video card section in xorg but it
didn't seem to do anything.
Using overlapping windows doesn't seem to work either since the main screen
will only go down to 1280x1024 and the external projector will only go up
to 640x480 so it doesn't show the entire screen
Will be happy for any ideas
Thnaks
