Ok, kinda got it working.
Seems that the dual screen thing is a limitation of Gnome.
If I launch E (or even twm, lwm or wmaker) from the xinitrc
it opens up on the second screen no worries.
I can't move windows from one screen to the other (but I kinda
figured that wouldn't work anyway cause the
Peter,
Maybe you had best talk to rasterman or mandrake
then. possibly some E groupy so as not to bug them.
I believe Xinerama makes the two heads appears as one
with an od res. Which the window manager shouldnt have
problems with as one can easily define any crazy res
you want in XF86Config, mos

I have that working already (re: my first e-mail). The mouse moves
seamlessly onto the second screen, I can get windows open on it eg
export DISPLAY=mybox:0.1; xterm
I just can't get a window manager working on it. When I try and
start another window

No idea, but you start with defining the M screens & N adapters in

Sluggers,
How do I get gdm to display / work with a second physical screen?
I've just got off my butt and finally installed X 4.0.2. Put the
beta drivers for my G400 in and plugged in the second screen.
"the" X display shows up on it, the mouse moves over to it I can
put windows like xeyes on
