Greetings All,
I just installed Karmic (9.10) after my hard drive blew up. I upgraded from 9.04 (restored my files from backup) and got my dual monitors working again. I'm actually getting really good at this.
My problem is whenever I tried to stretch a gnome-terminal window (or any other window for that matter) across both monitors (start on the left screen and stretch across to the right screen), the edge of the terminal window (or other window) would stop at the edge of the monitor screen.
I'm running nvidia graphics on a Lenovo T61p. I've played around with the xorg.conf to no avail.
It took me a while to figure out, but by eventually disabling Desktop Effects (initially, nothing was selected which I found odd), I can now stretch gnome-terminal as well as other windows across both monitors.
Just for the record, I did attempt to move the gnome-terminal window so it took up space on both monitors and then stretch it. All that did was shrink the window back down to a single monitor.
I did not have this problem on 9.04.
thoughts? requests for information?
