hi,

i managed to get 3 monitors sort of working on my system at work. The problem however is that when I try moving windows to my second monitor, the windows won't move completely onto the second monitor.

also, when I reboot I found I totally lost the title bar of windows, and get back after setting the apperance to none of virtual effects.

Strange thing is that my mouse pointer can get anywhere on the monitor and even windows xp under vmware can use the screen to it's fullest. I've never seen anything like it. Also I can not place icons or move files over to the second screen. Anyone has any idea?

I am using 3 as seperate X screen for the 3 monitors settings on the Nvidia X Server settings (Version 96.43), I didn't use Twinview because I have 3 monitors.

Besides, I installed KDE as well, however, it seems doesn't support multi monitors at all but Gnome works well.

I Hope if anyone who can give a help.

here is the xorg.conf:

Try enabling Xinerama (from serverflags -section, change the Xinerama option from "0" to "1")
