I had to install xgl. It works great now, but It for some reason I can only use ubuntu classic icons.

What I didn't know was that the "enable restricted driver" dialog changes the driver in the xorg.conf file to "fglrx"! (I thought it twiddled a bit in the ATI hardware). So I actually had the fglrx driver there. I give up: Maybe someday I'll try installing Xgl, right now it seems way too much time to invest for a bit of eye candy. I just tried radeon/xinerama for fun, since I was up to my eyeballs in X configs anyway. It works OK, but doesn't handle different monitor resolutions very well. Also there doesn't seem to be any way to control window placement, which takes a bit of the usefulness out of it. Metacity doesn't seem to quite understand it - when I go to hide the a task panel, it slides over to the other screen. Rather like an ostrich, it thinks I can't see it :-) With fglrx and xinerama the cursor on the external monitor disappears, which is even MORE useless. Ah well - back to dual desktops :-) Sorry for the noise, Regards, K. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karl Auer (<a href="mailto:kauer@biplane.com.au"> kauer@biplane.com.au</a>) +61-2-64957160 (h) <a href="http://www.biplane.com.au/~kauer/">http://www.biplane.com.au/~kauer/</a> +61-428-957160 (mob) -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users </a> </blockquote></div>
