I'm playing now with the xorg.conf file, and I could achieve the resolution stuff, but now I can't drag any window between monitors and the mouse pointer looks funny (a colored big square) on the external monitor. My xorg.conf file looks like this: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "aticonfig-Screen[0]" 0 0 Screen "aticonfig-Screen[1]" leftOf "aticonfig-Screen[0]" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad" #Option "Clone" "off" EndSection Have any clue of what is happening? Ideally I would like to have both monitors working with different resolutions and be able to drag the windows... I appreciate if you can help me!

My xorg.conf file looks like this:
Section “ServerLayout”
Identifier “Default Layout”
Screen “aticonfig-Screen[0]” 0 0
Screen “aticonfig-Screen[1]” leftOf “aticonfig-Screen[0]”
InputDevice “Generic Keyboard”
InputDevice “Configured Mouse”
InputDevice “stylus” “SendCoreEvents”
InputDevice “cursor” “SendCoreEvents”
InputDevice “eraser” “SendCoreEvents”
InputDevice “Synaptics Touchpad”
#Option “Clone” “off”
EndSection

Have any clue of what is happening? Ideally I would like to have both monitors working with different resolutions and be able to drag the windows…

I appreciate if you can help me! Greetings
