I'm using XMonad as my window manager, and want to use trayer as a icon panel for things like nm-applet.

The problem was that the panel wouldn't appear on the top of the screen. If I set it to the bottom it just appeared.

After a lot of trying, I found out it is because my xorg.conf is setup for dualscreens, and probably the trayer panel is spawned outside my view (I currently have only a single screen, but I switch a lot).

After manualy tweaking the xorg.conf file to allow for just one screen, the panel appears on the right spot.

These are the things I had to modify:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "0-LVDS"
        Option      "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
        Option      "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
        Option      "DPMS" "true"
        Option      "PreferredMode" "1366x768"
        Option      "TargetRefresh" "60"
        Option      "Position" "0 0" # Was 1280 256
        Option      "Rotate" "normal"
        Option      "Disable" "false"
EndSection

SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Virtual   1366 768 # Was 2646 2646
        Depth     24
EndSubSection

The problem is ofcourse that I can't use my dual screen setup anymore. Is there a way to force trayer on the right position even with the dualscreen setup?

I've switched to XMonad as my window manager. Sometimes when I put my laptop to hibernate, it's hanging and won't shut down. I have to force it off by pressing the powerbutton for 5 seconds.

After I boot again, I can't connect to the internet. I have to logout, go to gnome, and after logging in, I rightclick the network applet icon and select the enable networking options. After that, my internet is working again.

Is there a way to do this via the command line or another option?

Because my ubuntu partion was to small, I have enlarged it with the Ubuntu LiveCD + GParted.

All went fairly well (it said there were 2 warnings, but nothing severly), but afterwards, after I have logged in, the touchpad stops working.

Strange thing is, in the login screen, it still works perfectly, and an external USB mouse also works.

I have a HP DV6 2030sd laptop with Ubuntu 10.04 installed.

Does anyone know what steps I can take to solve this problem?
