Why do you have two ServerLayouts? How do X know you want the one
named "dual"?? Also, I don't see info about the other screen, in your
"dual" ServerLayout you only have Default Screen, how do you expect it
to find you other screen?
In my ServerLayout I have
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Option "Xinerama" "on"
Option "Clone" "off"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
Screen "Second Screen" RightOf "Default Screen"
EndSection
In there I list both my screens and how they relate to eachother.
I have xinerama working on my laptop w/o problems. Tell me if you
want my XF86Config-4! What kind of laptop do you have? I'm running a
thinkpad R40.
Regards,
Erik
