hello Im using mandrivia 2009.1 powerpack .
I want to use 2 monitors with seperate xservers with each monitor having its own compiz cube or smilar effects.
i used the nvidia display settings tool to enable the second monitor.
after i checked seperate xserver.
the main desktop has moved to the 2nd screen all 3d working.
But the main display is just black the mouse arrow works and i can drag icons over it they wont stick thou.
Where do i configure it (the 2nd xserver).

How would I go about making a desktop button to turn on and off my TV screen which I have set up as an extended desktop currently, I would like to be able to switch between 1 desktop and an extended desktop.(1 or 2 monitors)
Don't know if what I want to do is called switching hardware profiles. Im using an Nvidia graphics card I used the nivdia tool to set up the tv as extended desktop couldn't get 2 Xservers to work, I'm using kde .
