Hi all, I'm running a matrox card with two identical monitors in dual head mode ("merged" in matrox jargon). I end up with a screen of 2560x1024 over the two displays. It works quite nicely.
I understand that many window managers play well with a xinerama set up and do the things described in section 9. of the Xinerama HOWTO[1]. The main points are quoted here: <from: Xinerama HOWTO - Chapter 9> > * Intelligent placement of windows. > > - Window managers should not place windows in dead areas or across > the borders of two heads. > > - New windows should be placed in the current desktop. > > * Maximizing windows should maximize the window to the current head > only. > > * Window Movements should have edge resistance between heads (Much > like they have resistance to other windows). > > * Dialogs and informative messages should not pop up Between Heads </from: Xinerama HOWTO - Chapter 9> I'd like to be able to get similar behaviour with my current setup. Does anyone know how I could achieve this sort of behavior. I currently use OpenBox 3 and gnome 2.6. Thanks, Nick. 1. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Xinerama-HOWTO/windowmanagers.html -- Debian 3.1 Linux twofish 2.6.9-looxt93c2 i686 GNU/Linux
