Correct. Then your window manager needs to be smart enough to either support both screens (blackbox/openbox/fluxbox/waimea, pwm/ion, larswm), or else fork another copy of itself to run on the other screen (WindowMaker, Enlightenment, FVWM). In general, I find that window managers that have been around for a while know how to do this. > I run IceWM, which the changelog shows Xinerama support (although very > recent support -- starting last month). It knows what Xinerama is, but has no concept of multiple screens, so if you're going to use it, you'll have to launch a copy of it on the second screen yourself. > I also see mention of TwinView in some docs and on Google.

I have no idea if it works with two discrete cards. -- Marc Wilson | The universe does not have laws -- it has habits, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | and habits can be broken. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
