Hi Sergey, yes, the good thing is that AIX has xinerama support, at least client-side (I don't know if the native Xserver is really supporting it but I don't think that many people are really sitting in front of an AIX server nowadays anyway :). The bad thing is that the xinerama support apparently never ever really worked on AIX. I've opened "8220528: [AIX] Fix basic Xinerama functionality" (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8220528) for it and will post a fix tomorrow. Thank you and best regards, Volker > -- > Best regards, Sergey.
