Thread: Xinerama with triple monitors - 11.04

did new install system worked on 10, xinerama.

have nvidia 9500 gt cards, dont think driver related.

screen 0 center
screen 2 right
, screen 3 left..

when xinerama disabled things work flawlessly, not using xinerama killer me.

nvidia configuration utility generates following xorg.conf when xinerama disabled. gets locations right , mouse moves correctly between screens.

code:

not ruin relationship between screens, messes display.
desktop displays on screen 3 ( left of center), click on things have click on them if on screen 0 (the center)
screen 0 , screen 2 blank, curor show up.

ideas how can xorg.conf correct?

tried adjusting screen relations should be. screens display same thing..

more ubuntu developers need multi-monitors? seems if developers had it, make sure worked..

help. if can't working i'll regrettably have go 10.

if you're asking how xinerama working unity in 11.04, read, since built off compiz, can't.

have tried using ubuntu classic desktop, instead?
