[KLUG Members] Re: Dual Monitors + video cards in linux -- See the Xinerama HOWTO

[Adam Bultman]

Wow, Wow, and WOW.  This is really cool. With my current choices (KDE, 
Gnome, and Windowmaker) I was forced to use KDE. I'm told Enlightenment is 
better, so I might download and install that (if it's not a pain).  You 
can move the mouse just like in windows (from one DT to the other) but 
oddly, you can't drag windows, which is too bad-- it's two separate 
windows, separate desktops.  It's nice,though. ONe bad thing: Realplayer 
won't play on the secondary desktop. Boo hoo!  At least AVIplay does, and 
we'll see about VLC.

Thanks to everyone for the help (and, evidently my mouse is of type 
IMPS/2, not PS/2, so that fixed that.  I don't know if that's a 
commentary, either).
