This doesn't exactly answer to you question, but it may be useful.... Are you running a recent version of KDE? I know that dual head support was added (or improved) in the latter version. If I remember correctly, SuSE-7.2 came with KDE 2.1.2. If you haven't already, then you may want to upgraded to a newer version of KDE... (KDE 3.0 is pretty nice, but it may require some extra effort.) I have no clue about the permissions thing. Sorry. Anyway, I just thought I'd drop you a line about the KDE thing--I didn't see a KDE version number so I thought that upgrading might help. Good luck, Lowell Alleman lowella@mfps.com

Hi All,
I am running Suse 7.2 pro on a machine with a dual head Matrox Millenium G550 (using X 4.2.0). If I plug in 2 monitors, this seems to work fine, but when I fire up a program, e.g. kmail on the second monitor, it doesn't allow me to type an email, or move the application around the screen. A similar thing
happens with Konqueror. Also, I cannot increase the number of desktops (above 1).
However, if I login as root, both screens behave as they should, and I can
open applications on either monitor, and move them around, type emails, surf the web, increase the number of desktops, etc.
I assume this is therefore a permissions issue, so would someone point me in the right direction of what I need to do.
Kind Regards,
Ian
