Wow, am I embarrassed.  My problem was solved when I rebooted Windows.  Some things \
never change :)  Sorry for the noise.

Subject: Multiple Monitors on XP IBM T60

Hi,

I'm using XP on an IBM T60 dual core laptop with an ATI Catalyst graphics \
accelerator.  I am also using an external monitor.  I have my laptop LCD screen set \
up as display 1, and the external monitor setup as display 2 using XP's built in \
multiple monitor support.  

I am experiencing the same problem described in a very similar thread by Ian \
MacKinnon in September of 2003.  X windows render correctly on the external monitor \
but not on the primary monitory.  They appear blank on the laptop screen and are ok \
when dragged onto the external monitor.  The solution to Ian's trouble was to use the \
-multiplemonitor option on starting xwin.  Unfortunately, this doesn't work for me.

 Any suggestions?

Dennis McCracken
