Hi List,

i have following problem. if i configure two screens twinview or
cinerama the mouse is only availbe in the first screnn. I can't move the
cursor to the second, but if a window in the second screen has the
focus, is it possible to control the desktop via keyboard.
My version of xorg is 7.3.6.1 64Bit running on opensuse 10.3 with kde
3.5.8. I am using nvidia drivers version 64Bit 100.14.19 and here is the
current xorg.conf.
