Two X sessions -> exspanded desktop help
I am trying to go from having two X sessions on separate monitors(which uses major resources) to having two monitors with the ability to move programs/windows from one screen to the other( alot less resources used this way). I am using two separate video cards ( one AGP and one PCI).
Here is my XF86Config-4 file so you can see where i am at this point

# **********************************************************************
# Refer to the XF86Config man page for details about the format of

# **********************************************************************
Section "Files"
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
FontPath "unix/:-1"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
#DontZap # disable <Crtl><Alt><BS> (server abort)
#DontZoom # disable <Crtl><Alt><KP_+>/<KP_-> (resolution switching)
AllowMouseOpenFail # allows the server to start up even if the mouse doesn't work
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension
Load "v4l" # Video for Linux
Load "extmod"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx" # 3D layer

Instead of having two separate X sessions running on two monitors, I want to have one X session spread across both screens (ability to drag/pull windows/programs from screen0 to screen1) with only screen0 having the panel at the bottom, in other words, and expanded desktop.
