If I can get three displays up and running in XFce of LXDE, then I know that it's a Gnome issue. Since disk space is cheap nowadays, I usually install one of these in addition to KDE (I'm a KDE person) when I first set up my machine. I've had similar issues in KDE, and it's usually been because of some issue with upgrading or incomplete installation that I missed. I give myself about an hour of poking around, and then say "screw it" and do a clean install. After all, it takes about 30 minutes to do a clean install, most of which isn't interactive. And it fixes all sorts of hidden config/conflict issues. YMMV of course, if you have to deal with licensing on proprietary software and such that can make reinstall a bigger hassle. But for me, it's at the top of the "OK, this isn't a trivial problem" fix algorithm. To be honest, I've deleted the first part of the thread, so I don't rememberif this is a new problem on a new installation -- in which case doing a clean install may have less of a chance of magically fixing things, obviously. billo _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
