Ati radeon dual screen

Asked by Unetwork

I finally have dual screen with my ati radeon 9250 but now I would like to have the mouse at the right screen going.

When I want to go from my main screen LG to the Sony G500 (second screen) which is on the right side of the LG (main screen) I have to go with the mouse to the left this to exit the main screen and to enter the second screen.
Any suggestions to turn this around?
Thanks.

Here my xorg.conf:

Hi, ok I understnd, you must change this lines of your
xorg.conf file:

FROM THIS:

Section "ServerLayout"
  Identifier "Default Layout"
  Screen "Default Screen0"
  Screen "Default Screen1" LeftOf "Default Screen0"
  InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
  InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
  InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
  InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
  InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
  Option "Xinerama" "on"
  Option "Clone" "on"
EndSection

TO THIS:

Section "ServerLayout"
  Identifier "Default Layout"
  Screen "Default Screen0"
  Screen "Default Screen1" RightOf "Default Screen0"
  InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
  InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
  InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
  InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
  InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
  Option "Xinerama" "on"
  Option "Clone" "on"
EndSection

Let me know. Before do this you must create your xorg.conf
backup file.

THANKS MANY

Unetwork in the manual for the screen LG L194WT on LG site it says that the refresh specs are different!
http://www.lge.com/products/model/detail/L194WT.jhtml

In your xorg.conf file it's
Section "Monitor"
 Identifier "L194WT"
 Option "DPMS"
         HorizSync 56-70
         VertRefresh 28-83
EndSection

In the Manual the Figures are:
Horizontal Freq. Analog : 30 - 83 kHz (Automatic)
                 Digital : 30 - 83 kHz (Automatic)
Vertical Freq. 56 - 75 Hz (Automatic)

If you will not correct these figures your chip for the resolution will eventually be damaged and it will not boot the resolution. It happened to me on my samsung 710N screen in 1280x1024 in my xorg.conf on Vertical Freq it was 82 instead of 75 max and it eventually got fried.

Watch out for this thing.
