Screen and display are completely different things in different contexts. If you have 1 graphic card you usually have 1 screen and one display, which would correspond to DISPLAY=:0.0 in X11 terminology. If you have some special card flavor or perhaps two cards you could have 2 displays/screens. I have the feeling what you call screen or display is not exactly what you mean. What you mean is most probably monitor. One screen may stretch to multiple monitors - one display to multiple screens. DISPLAY=:D.S D - display S - screen http://askubuntu.com/questions/432255/what-is-display-environment-variable In your case - if you want to put a program window somewhere, you should work with the position parameter(s) - xoff,yoff xeyes --help [-geometry [{width}][x{height}][{+-}{xoff}[{+-}{yoff}]]] regards
