dual monitor headscratcher

[Lisa Kachold]

Looks like Xinerama is not setup right?

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo

Example of just one way to do this:

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier	"Multihead Layout"
	Screen		"screen0" 0 0
	Screen		"screen1" RightOf "screen0"
	InputDevice	"Generic Keyboard"
	InputDevice	"Configured Mouse"
	Option		"Xinerama"	"on"
EndSection
