I am using the proprietary drivers for my 8800gt (185) and I installed all relevant packages for 185 and and Nvidia control panel. I configured my two moniters as separate X screens then copied and pasted the x conf file with sudo. When I log in both my monitors turn on, but my second display shows just a black screen. If I scroll my mouse I can see it as an X, but I can't move windows to it or add taskbars or widgets. I am looking to be able to emulate what I had going on slackware 13.0, namely two monitors with seperate backgrounds and I can share windows between them (drag and drop). Any suggestion?
