The second screen is not enabled at all. Mouse doesn't go into it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Now I updated to this version, however the problem still exists. By selecting one monitor left or right of the other, the display on each monitor seems to behave randomly. Sometimes one monitor still displays while the other doesn't, sometimes both monitors don't display properly: some big blanks of different colors. It might be caused by selecting of different "primary output" with the tool configure desktop. Mouse can still move in both displays. Previously I wrote mouse doesn't move in, as previously the other screen displays totally weird picture and you cannot find mouse there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
