Twinview originally gave me X-config problems (nVidia w/laptop + external
monitor) when I 1st installed, and Xinerama provided a better solution.
So I avoided it. For whatever reason, Twinview is operating correctly now, and
not experiencing the resolution issues I originally had.
I made the switch 2 days ago, and thus far, have not had any problems. It also
has the added bonus, of allowing Compiz to work, whereas before,
any attempt under Xinerama would reject the options of using any visual effects
setting, other than 'none'. I assumed this was due to different
resolutions on 2 screens, as it worked fine in single-monitor mode.
I'm reasonably certain that this resolves the mouse-click problem, but
will update you in a couple of days, to confirm.
Thanks for the assist. I hadn't considered any graphics related causes.
