Okay, I'm using a laptop and have an external monitor plugged into it. I've set it to run separate X screens (I want it to run like separate entities).
I've created a bash script to start openbox in the second window.
$HOME/.config/openbox/screen2.sh
In my /usr/bin/openbox-session
Anyway, so it starts off great. Both screen pull up and every thing's happy.
However the problem comes when I switch monitors. When I move my mouse over I can't move it back.
I can't seem to figure out how to get back to the other screen.
Below is my xorg.conf

My bad.
New development though.
I was recently at a LAN party and I was using one of my friends monitors with my laptop.
After setting up everything (it was pretty much the same Xorg minus the Screen Res) I was able to switch back and forth...
I'm not sure but I have a hunch that this might be caused by the fact that my screen's resolution is so much smaller than my laptops resolution.
