Thread: Dual Montiors + Desktop Effects... should it be this hard to have both?


hello fellow ubuntu guru's,

using kubuntu natty , had 1 hell of time enabling desktop effects dual monitors. see thread. in end, able work.

i've upgraded kubuntu 12.04 , dual monitor + effects function stopped working. in fact, decided fresh install of kubuntu 12.04 start scratch.

i've tried importing settings thread link above. in fact made problem worse. mouse stuck @ left side of screen , move , down; in addition, second monitor wouldn't enable after changing enable in nvidia settings. way can both monitors work enabling both x screens , enabling xinerama.

however, xinerama enabled, desktop effects disabled , going settings -> desktop effects; says cannot enabled. read thread can comment out "section extentions", option "composite" "disable" of xorg.conf file.

once did this, option enable desktop effects open; however, though have enabled, task bar pop-up pretty says effects still disabled.

why hard have both dual monitors , desktop effects?

-ive tried using proprietary drivers, , ubuntu's drivers; neither seem make difference.

ideas?

thanks,

-nate

nevermind - able working enabling twinview on both monitors within nvidia settings. reason wasn't letting me enable twin view before - is... may have switching drivers proprietary ubuntu's version. anywho, took time read this.

(1) firstly, download , install gtkmm windows using wine. (you have if have cross compiled app windows) https://live.gnome.org/gtkmm/mswindows (2) run these commands create proper directory structure.
