Rereading the thread, the bizarre freakout behavior you get makes me
want to ask what kind of video card you have, and if you're using a
binary driver. But if your setup works with all other wm's....

Could you relate exactly how you start up X and how you set up the
monitors? Do you have stuff in xorg.conf to configure both monitors to
use? Do you run "xrandr" commands when you start x through ~/.xsession
or something similar?

Rather puzzling. Unfortunately, I'm not that familiar with StumpWM's
multihead code - you'd have to go to male, as I believe he wrote it
all originally.


Good luck, sorry I'm not more help,
