Isn't the command somewhat like this? ... XWin -screen 0 1000 768 blah blah
I have yet to reach to the point in the cygwin/x docs where it allows the command with options such as -screen 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Are we allowed to specify arguments of this option this way? (I'm not too prone to reading user docs/guides until I get into trouble). My actual command is XWin -screen 0 1900 1400 -multiplemonitors -emulate3buttons -scrollbars -clipboard -silent-dup-error I believe multiplemonitors option allows cyg/x to recognise the second monitor and to allow you to move your cyg/x window to the second monitor, which I always do. I needed the scrollbars option for reasons I cannot clearly recall. Without the option, I seem to recall I could not stretch cyg/x window to the extremities of my large second monitor without maximizing the window. ============================== Somewhat Important Disclaimer. ============================== This email, while purporting to be true, should not have its purporting to be true be in any way that you might construe as legally binding as super-glue.

I've got a Thinkpad with a 1024x768 LCD screen connected to a 21" CRT monitor which I've enabled as a secondary monitor at 1600x1200 resolution. I'd like to run XWin in windowed mode on the secondary monitor and take up the full resolution. However, try as I might, I can't make XWin any bigger than 1024x768 on the secondary monitor. Here are the obvious command-lines I've tried: XWin -screen 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] This results in a 1024x768 windowed XWin on the secondary monitor XWin -screen 0 @2 -fullscreen This results in a 1024x768 fullscreen XWin on the primary monitor Any ideas? -Tom -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
