View Full Version : [all variants] upgrade to 9.04 - cant access 2nd display with mouse

Today I pushed the upgrade button from 8.10 to 9.04...
I am using the restricted drivers for nVidia with separate x screens (xinerama)

The 2nd display CRT shows up as before the upgrade, programs open on both displays and but the mouse is trapped on the laptop screen .... a true instance of, "you can't get there from here!" <grin>

I have searched forums and restored an older working xorg.conf. I have googled, but can't seem to find a solution. I hate not being able to figure this out myself, it seems like it should be so obvious! If you can help it would be much appreciated.

I wanted to attach a copy of my xorg.conf as a txt file but the manage attachment window is opening on the CRT display!!!

*****I did discover I can use the wacom tablet to move cursor between displays (rather erratically); a ghost cursor is left behind, and still leaves cursor bound within new display
