Hi, Thank you for your reply !
I guess i'll have to look into the meta modes thing in the driver README, as i have two identical tft screens i do not want to disable one of the 2 in 1280x1024 and i do not want to play games in 1024 :-S So XineramaSls is really the way to go as i thought it was not really the same after reading this part in the fvwm manpage: "For multi-screen implementations other than Xinerama, such as Single Logical Screen, it is possible to simulate a Xinerama configuration if the total screen seen by fvwm is made up of equal sized monitors in a rectangular grid. The commands XineramaSls, XineramaSlsSize and Xin- eramaSlsScreens are used to configure this feature." I Will try the XineramaSlsScreens though to define the screens as I haven't done that yet, but i still have some doubts about this because I do not understand what would make the menu's popup in the wrong screen. You do not use StartsOnScreen c but this should be default behaviour so it doesn't explain why A: my menu's popup only on the primary screen with the default, and B: my menu's popup on the opposite screen while defining StartsOnScreen c. I'll try tonight and post my success/failure. Mark. On Monday 13 December 2004 06:31, Scott Rubin wrote: > Hi, > > I have twinview and fvwm all working perfectly together.
