Hi, Thank you Greg. You are right, the moblin version of x does not have xinerama support in it. Xinerama is disabled by default for Moblin (netbook) 2.1, which is the version I am using. It seems that I will have to recompile X to enable Xinerama. After searching on google I found out that I have to edit the spec file 'xorg-x11-server.spec' and replace --disable-xinerama by --enable-xinerama. I am working on that presently. I'll keep informing of my progress or any further issues. Thanks again & Regards, Akshay. <div class="gmail_quote"> On Fri, Apr 9, 2010 at 12:30 AM, <<a href="mailto:libdlo-request@lists.freedesktop.org">libdlo-request@lists.freedesktop.org</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> Send Libdlo mailing list submissions to <a href="mailto:libdlo@lists.freedesktop.org">libdlo@lists.freedesktop.org</a> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libdlo" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libdlo</a> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to <a href="mailto:libdlo-request@lists.freedesktop.org">libdlo-request@lists.freedesktop.org</a> You can reach the person managing the list at <a href="mailto:libdlo-owner@lists.freedesktop.org">libdlo-owner@lists.freedesktop.org</a> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Libdlo digest..."

After struggling a little, I was able to achieve it partially. Although the display on both the screens comes up perfectly, I am still facing the problem of not being able to transfer windows from one screen to the other. I believe Xinerama should be used for this purpose; however setting on the xinerama option in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file does not achieve this. All windows open in the main screen by default. I am able to export windows on the display link screen via the command line. I have made sure that the color depth for both the screens is 16 and the resolution I am using is 1280x1024 for both the screens. Also X -version gives the version as 1.6.5. Could this be a problem? Any suggestions/thoughts on this are welcome. Thank You & Regards, Akshay Sathe.

I have a running triple-head setup using xinerama on 2 nvidia screens (with TwinView enabled) and 1 displaylink screen. I use the latest xf-video-udlfb driver from <a href="http://git.pluggable.com" target="_blank">git.pluggable.com</a>, but it seems xrandr detects only the displaylink output: $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 1280 x 1024, current 3840 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024 DL connected 1280x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1280x1024 0.0* I tried disabling xinerama and/or using nouveau drivers in different configurations. With xinerama disabled I get 2 seperate X screens (cannot drag windows between those screens) and xrandr reports only the output of the screen its running on, but doesn't "see" the other outputs. Does this description make any sense? I'm really lost into when it comes to X-speak of screens, monitors, outputs ... However, is there some advice on getting a working xrandr setup where I can freely position all my "monitors", no matter whether its the displaylink or one of the nvidia ones? Has anybody tried/succeeded in something similar?

Which version of moblin are you using? Have you tried the latest meego snapshots instead? thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Libdlo mailing list <a href="mailto:Libdlo@lists.freedesktop.org">Libdlo@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libdlo" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libdlo</a> End of Libdlo Digest, Vol 12, Issue 1 ************************************* </blockquote></div>
