Ongoing struggles with Xorg.. Thanks to Sam Ruby, one of the problems is down: CTRL-Alt-Backspace is working again to restart the X server. And the keyboard shortcuts on the Habari admin pages are working, though I don't know why. X hasn't crashed since I disabled the screensavers labelled "GL:" in ~/.xscreensaver. So I'm actually pretty happy overall.
I'd be happier, though, if I could get the second monitor head working. I've turned off TwinView in the Xorg config files (hopefully; haven't tested it yet -- I'm tired of restarting everything and want to get some work done), and got the 1280x1024 monitor displaying the same stuff as the laptop's LCD with
# xrandr --output VGA1 --same-as
LVDS1 --scale 1.3x1
but that's not much help.
Here's what I wish for; I'd really like to:
- Have my second Enlightenment E16 desk assigned to the second head;
- Be able to move the mouse between screens (hit the right edge of the LCD, appear on the VGA);
- Be able to page through areas independently on each head.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution to this yet. It may not be possible, although it seems a pretty obvious configuration.
