Multiple X screens woes

[Kate Monster]

Hi there.

I'm trying to setup X11 to use 2 X screens, one for each physical display. The reason being that Twinview and Xinerama both suck tremendously. I want 2 displays, not one huge display. I'm sick of applications trying to either force themselves on one display or the other, I want to be able to open a window on one monitor and have it stay there, no-matter-what.

However, the closest I've come to success is, 2 X screens open, the mouse will move from the left screen to the right, but then it is stuck on the right screen. I've tried touching every edge on the right screen, it will not move back, no matter what. I have an Nvidia card, so this xorg.conf file was created with its assistance. I can't figure out what possibly could be going wrong; any ideas?

Mouse getting stuck on one screen is unfortunately a common problem (see also this topic). Sometimes, it helps if you swap the monitor connectors and exchange their position in xorg.conf.
