extended desktop -> x crashes on 11.3
I am trying to get an extended desktop (laptop monitor + extra) on my OpenSuse 11.3 system (64). I use kde 4.4.
It used to work on my OS 11.0. Here is the deal now:
- I use NVIDIA G2 driver from the OS repositiory
- laptop screen works fine, including compositing, 3D etc
I run nvidia-xconfig to generate an xconfig file. Everything still works fine (even after x reboot):
Code:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 256.35 (buildmeister@builder97.nvidia.com) Wed Jun 16 19:15:05 PDT 2010

Next I login as root and open the run nvidia-setting program. There the second monitor is detected. I enable it as extended desktop and check: enable Xinerama.
I reboot.
Problems:
- compositing is off, I cannot enable it
- if I move my mouse cursor to the second screen, it only stays there for a second and vibrates enormously.
- if I use a window on the 2nd screen. X crashes
Any pointers? Things I can add/remove from the xorg.conf?
Now the xorg.conf is as follows:
Code:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
