Compiling Fluxbox with xinerama use flag result few good things. Dragging a window to one screen, maximizes it automatically to the size of the screen. Now if I toggle maximization, it will be done on the screen the window is in. So now I can work with 2 screens. Is it possible to have each screen in different desktop? Regards, Kfir The command I use: xrandr --output LVDS1 --primary --mode 1280x800 --pos 0x0 --auto --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1280
