Hi Eric,
I just a little while ago tried adding an external monitor to my TiBook,
and I got a very similar problem. While one of the X11 windows is
selected, the mouse is confined to the laptop screen. If I go to another
application, I can move the mouse over to the other monitor that is to
the virtual right of the laptop screen (although the Dock is on the
second monitor I can still click on the background to go to Finder). If
I select the X11 server in the Dock, it immediately warps the mouse over
to the edge of the laptop screen.
Maybe restarting the X11 server will reset its idea of the screen space?
I am busy with X connections so I can't try that without losing work.
Cheers,
++Eric Fielding

Howdy,
I have a TiBook which I use with an external monitor when I am at my
desk. Now before Apple's version of X11 changing the configuration
would just make the xserver dump core. Now things are better in that
it doesn't always dump core but the mouse seems to get confused about
the size of the visible screen. Right now I have a configuration where
the mouse is confined to a section of the monitor which is the same
size as the laptop screen. However, windows are not confined to this
region they can hang out of it just fine, well as far as I can move
them at any rate.
I assume someone is working on this as there has been some
improvement, any ideas of when it will be really working or
suggestions for how to kick the xserver into reexamining the screen
space available?
Thanks a bunch!
