Hello listmates,
I have just hooked up a second monitor to my machine, with a NVidia 8600 GT dual head video card. I am using the proprietary driver. This all works, and I can use the second monitor by moving my mouse to the left and doing what I need to do there.
There is one problem, however. All windows on the second monitor are drawn without window decoration, which kind of makes the second monitor useless. Does anyone know how that might be fixed, please?
Googling gave me several links to the Ubuntu forums, which told me several people are experiencing similar problems, but only when they are running Xgl. I am not using Xgl, as far as I can tell. It also seems that using automatic tools like SaX2 and nvidia-settings have messed up my xorg.conf. However, I am unsure which portions I could safely remove and still have a running X.
I have the same problem with an NVIDIA FX-6200 card driven by the latest proprietary nvidia driver. I do not use xgl either. As I see in your xorg conf file your second monitor is configured as an independent second monitor, ie. tvinview is not activated. (Xinerama is turned on, however it has effect only if twinview is ativated as well, I think. Please correct me if I am wrong.) Are you using kde? I have kde 3.5.9 and it looks the second monitor has a complete independent kde desktop. The background is different, taskbar is diferent and windows have no decorations, they can not be moved. I think we should find out where the kde settings of the second monitor are stored and maybe we could tweak them there. The other strangeness is that on another system with an older kde (opensuse package 3.5.7 or 3.5.8) this problem does not not show up, that is window decoration are not missing. Please, if you find an explanation/solutinon, let me know. Thanks, IG ______________________________________________________________________ VÁSÁROLNA? SEGÍTÜNK!
