hi,

my system is gentoo amd64, kde-4.3, my graphic card is nvidia's. i use
nvidia-settings to set up my two displayer to work in the tweenview
mode. it supposed to have two separate desktop, instead it have a
large desktop expand two displayer.

on gnome and windows, tweenview always sets up two separate desktop.

Per the nvidia-driver docs (/usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers-190.53/README.bz2),
TwinView is designed to give you one large desktop and there's not much you
can do about that in KDE.

See Chap 15 of that same doc for a description of how to configure two
separate screens.

It should get installed with nvidia-drivers:

jmoe@jhb5970 ~ $ equery belongs
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers-185.18.36/README.bz2
[ Searching for file(s)
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers-185.18.36/README.bz2 in *... ]
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-185.18.36
(/usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers-185.18.36/README.bz2)

You may have to substitute your nvidia-drivers version number for the
185.18.36 in my path, or the 190.53 in Alan's path?

I've never heard of tweenview, but Nvidia has had a thing called TwinView for
ages.

And nvidia also likes to do their own thing in their own way. They even rip
out the X DRI and GLX stuff and replace it with their own, so they could
easily make TwinView work differently as well...

But I haven't seen that they did change things. For me, it's working as it
always did.

i found this README file. i do not know why it is not installed on one
of my gentoo server.

i followed the chapter 15 to configure my xorg.conf file. and i made a
very little progress

now, after X started, i only have only one monitor displaying a
desktop. the other monitor is black, however, i can move my mouse to
that monitor. but i cannot move any window to that monitor. when i
move my mouse to that monitor, the mouse is displayed as a "X", looks
like when you run "X -config xorg.conf.new" to test if the X is set up
correctly. i attached my xorg.conf file. i hope you can help me fix
this
