Dear Cygwin/Xwin maintainers: First let me say that I am running Cygwin/XFree 6.8.1.0-9 on a Windows XP box. I start X with the default parameters (plus -clipboard).
Here's what I want to do, and what happens: -- Want to: Use the XP Display Properties > Settings menu to add. on the fly, a second display, namely a video projector. I "Extend the Windows Desktop" to this projector for displaying PowerPoint slides. I want X to stay the way it was, in an XP window that covers the whole laptop LCD screen, but not displaying on the video projector. -- What happens: When I do this, after the display configuration change, the X window contents no longer display, though the cursors show and input appears to be active. XP things work as expected, and I can move the cursor from one screen to another, etc. PowerPoint does the right thin, showing presenter view on LCD screen anbd slide show on video projector. Once I am done and change the configuration back to one display, X works again like normal. Any suggestions? Or is this going to need some heavy duty programming to fix?
