[Techtalk] Dual monitor position problem

Fri Oct 29 11:56:12 EST 2004

I don't even really know how to describe this problem but here goes...

I have dual monitors set up with Xinerama running Fedora Core 2. The
problem is, on the left screen (which in my xorg.conf is the 2nd screen)
the mouse doesn't line up right vertically. 

For example to select say this 'word' 
      I would have to click 'down here'.

Does that make any sense? Horizontal I'm fine, but I have to click a few
pixels under whatever I'm aiming at to 'get it'.

Thanks,
Jennifer 

Here's what I assume are the relevant sections of my /etc/X11/xorg.con
