That's exactly the problem you have if you install X11 off the Leopard
DVD. That was meant to be officially fixed in 10.5.2 I thought (I run the
unofficial versions made by Jeremy). It was an issue with two monitors,
not just laptop and monitor.
What OS are you running?

Hey, all,
For the last few revisions of the OS, I've had a problem with external
monitors and X11 -- I run X11 on a MacBook Pro with a 1600x1200 external
monitor attached. If I attach the external monitor (which gets the menu bar
when attached) then X11 ignores all keystrokes and mouse clicks when the
cursor outside the area of the laptop's built-in monitor (as displaced to the
large external monitor). This means, for example, that if I am drawing with
GIMP or Inkscape, I can't make a mark outside the upper-left two thirds of my
external monitor. Likewise, long menu bars and large windows thoroughly
confuse X11. The workaround is to restart X11 (and therefore ditch all my
open windows) every time I plug in the monitor.
Do others have this problem? I've filed bug reports with Apple, but that is
about as effective as shouting down a deep hole.
