Twinview Issues

[BongoBob]

Hello everyone. I just recently installed sabayon from the 3.3 miniedition (my drive refuses to read DVDs anymore), and am trying to switch over from ubuntu 7.04. After learning enough about portage to set it up and use it, the first thing I did was backup my xorg.conf, and edit it for twinview by using parts of my old xorg.conf from ubuntu. After setting everything up, and ctrl-alt-backspacing, everything came up great. I then started messing with the panels, and setting them up to my liking, when I accidentally removed the panel with the system tray. After trying to figure out how to replace it, I tried adding a dock application bar, and it came up on the right side of my main monitor. Not being able to move it, I did another ctrl-alt-backspace. Only this time, when it came back up, things are jacked up. THe left monitor is fine, but the right one is acting like it's a seperate desktop. The background is simply blue, it has it's own panel at the bottom with the kmenu, the home icon, and the konquerer icon, as well as the viewport switcher, and a clock. It also has a trash icon on the desktop. I can move my mouse over to that desktop, but barely, and I can't click anything.

Here's my xorg.conf:

Right now the only idea I have is to switch to gnome and see if I can fix it from there, as I have basically no experience with KDE, so atm I'm emerging gnome, but it's gonna take forever.

Any help is greatly appreciated [/code]

Use the Nvidia driver and you can manage the settings with nvidia-settings.

[BongoBob]

Well, I think I solved it. After reinstalling, fubaring that install, and reformatting and installing again, I upgraded my kernel using this tutorial, and then emerged the nvidia driver. That didn't give me the nVidia X Server Settings in the Settings menu though, so I downloaded the nVidia driver from their website and installed it that way, and after some tinkering around in there, I finally got it set up. Now hopefully it won't mess up again.[/url]
