I've recently built a Gentoo box with has a twinhead setup, an nVidia graphics card and two monitors. I've got everything up and running fine, EXCEPT for one thing, dialogue placement. When a dialogue pops up, it pops up right in the middle of the virtual screen which is the line between the two monitors. I used to have it set up so that when a dialogue popped up, it would pop up central to one of the monitors - but now I can't remember how I actually had it set up to do this. I had a look at my USE flags and I don't have "xinerama" set. An "emerge -NuD --pretend world" shows a whole lot of graphics apps that would be rebuilt if I did have this value set. Is this the reason why my dialogues are not centering to one monitor? I also noticed that when I full screen a window, it goes right across both monitors, previously this would have only gone over one screen. So in summary, is "xinerama" most likely the answer to my problems? Regards, Andrew
