Hi Andreas,
tried and got 2 separated X windows session (so, was not able to move
windows across - which I already had once. See attached conf and log files).
Right now, I have no xorg.conf - but still 2 monitors are treated as 1
screen - so full screen is displayed in the middle...
Thanks anyway.
With best regards.
