Hi!
I decided to connect my TV as second monitor and am trying different configurations. First i tried a "normal" xrandr approach and didnt liked the result - no negative coordinates (0x0 is always a left most screen - so i would have to learn to switch to left screen by moving mouse to the right if i want my TV located physically to the left act as an secondary monitor) and virtual desktops switching on both monitors (afaik trinity have no support for separate virtual desktops in different monitors? i hope i am wrong but doesnt looks so :( ). So i wanted to try a multiple screens (in X sense) approach but hit a roadblock. As soon as i add Screen 1 "Philips" LeftOf "ZR24w" line to my xorg.conf and do tdm-trinity restart i am greeted with "this computer is locked enter password to unlock" on a TV and there is no escape from it other than killing X. Entering password just make it blink for a second and return back. Can this be somehow avoided or trinity is incapable of working on multiple screens?
A little more info from some experimentation. I get the same "session locked" if i start a second x session via startx manually, but this time it can be unlocked. And i am presented with this "session locked" every time i switch between sessions. So i believe what is happening is that when i try to run multiple screens config is that it tries to lock my "inactive" screen constantly. So the real question is how to disable automatic locking of inactive X session? I looked in TDE Control Center but didnt found anything.
P.S. Reading logs - everything is the same as normal in all of them except XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0" after 113 requests (113 known processed) with 5 events remaining. at the end of tdm.log
