I may have gotten myself in a mess here :\
Setup: analog screen 1280x1024 (left), digital connected screen 1680x1050 (middle - it’s my work screen), Card is Nvidia, GeForce 7600 GT.
OpenSuSE 11.2 only saw the left screen during installation, so only the left monitor works. Tried the nvidia X Server setup - which doesn’t work as user so I save what it produces manually and copy it across to /etc/X11/xorg.conf (yes, I could have done this as root - not enough coffee yet).
Three issues:
First: I have no idea if I use AIGLX or GLX, so I suspect I have conflict there, but whatever I do, Compiz-Fusion isn’t working. I get “Compositioning is not supported on your system. Required X extensions (XComposite and xDamage) are not available.” in the “Desktop effects setup”. I can’t see an error in /var/log/Xorg.0.log which shows the relevant extensions being initialised, but I must admit I may miss what I need - I’m not very much into graphics systems…
Second: OpenSuSE 11.2 (I’m using the x86_64 variant) only detected the analog (lefthand) screen. You may detect from the resolution that this isn’t my main work screen (Muphy’s Law is alive and well). How can I make Xorg consider the righthand screen the main one?
Third (not quite related): I did get it going on a laptop I have, but I noticed that several hotkeys just didn’t work. Is there a way I can figure out what has grabbed it?
(Bonus Q: where do I change the XDM login screen?)
So, my questions:
1 - what do I need? AIXGL or XGL? Anything I need to do to rip out the wrong one (I would have hoped that Yast would have flagged the two in conflict with each other).
2 - what steps do I take to rectify the issue? I presume there are also things to enable to ensure Compiz starts immediately with KDE4.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Let me know if you need Xorg.0.log - I haven’t posted it yet because it’s rather big…
