GodFlesh Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 I'm using 2 screens on my computer (GF2mx card with proprietary nvidia drivers) It works pretty well, except that the gnome panel (or the kde panel) only covers one screen. On the second screen the place where the panel should be is just black. I would like to extend my panel on the 2 screens, while keeping the xinerama functionality (ie maximising a window make it fit in ONE screen). How can i do that?

Vdubjunkie Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 If I'm understanding what you want, it sounds like you want the "toolbar" across the bottom of both screens (not one separate for each side) and to be able to drag a window across both screens, yet not have full screen actually expand to both screens. If I am right in that, I don't think it can be done. However, I do fully admit I could be wrong, just think I read that before. Anyway, if any experts on the subject come along, I am looking to expand my desktop across both screens rather than having separate desktops for each screen. My code currently looks like this: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "layout1" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" Screen "screen1" Screen "screen2" RightOf "screen1" #Option "Xinerama" What would I change?

Vdubjunkie Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 As for your problem, i need to know if you use a nvidia card able of twinview ... Actually I am running two separate video cards. I'm sure that makes a difference in the config file. I'm also sure I could find it on the net if I wanted to take the timeto search it out. It was low priority. Just thought I'd ride the coat tails of your post! jester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
