Hi. I have two monitors connected to my Nvidia video card. I've noticed Balou splash screen follows the mouse (not a big deal, it's not the reason I'm filing this bug), i.e. Balou splash screen appears on the monitor my mouse pointer is resting on. However the background appears on the main monitor, i.e. the one on which the desktop icons and panels appear. For example: my main monitor is above the other one. My desktop icons appear on the top-most monitor. My login manager is Lxdm. So I place my mouse pointer so as it appears on the bottom monitor and then log in. As expected Balou splash appears on the bottom monitor but the upper one is all black (my Balou theme, gentoo-xfce4, has a black background). What should happen is: the background and splash should appear on the same monitor, i.e. the bottom one in this case. Here's how I configured my monitors in xorg.conf.d: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "twinview" Screen 0 "screen-0" 0 0 Option "Xinerama" "0" EndSection Section "Monitor" # HorizSync source: edid, VertRefresh source: edid Identifier "monitor-0" ModelName "DELL ST2410" HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 76.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "gts-450" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BoardName "GeForce GTS 450" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "screen-0" Monitor "monitor-0" Device "gts-450" DefaultDepth 24 Option "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-1" Option "metamodes" "CRT: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, DFP: nvidia-auto-select +0+1080" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection CRT is the main monitor, DFP is the bottom one.
