Are the two monitors at different color depths? Are they being driven by the same vendor's video driver? Ah, it would be something so obvious that I didn't think of it. It was the color depth. My reinstall set the color depth to the default which is 16-bit for the LCD but 32-bit for the monitor. Switching the LCD to 32-bit fixed the problem. Thanks a lot, this has been bugging me for quite a while. -- Justin Patrin -- 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/
Cygwin/X on multiple displays, nothing displayed
I just reinstalled Windows a short time ago and started having a strange problem. I have a laptop and use it both with its own screen only and with a second screen at work. When I switched from one setup to the other my X windows usually stopped responding visually (although they seemed to respond to input). Stopping and starting X would fix the problem. Now, after reinstalling Windows and Cygwin/X, X works fine on my one screen but not when I turn on the second screen. No matter what order I switch configurations and restart X in the X screens are always just white when I have two screens enabled. Does anyone have any clues how to fix this issue? -- Justin Patrin -- 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/

Some more testing today has shown that output works only on the leftmost monitor but only at the resolution of the primary monitor. My LCD is the primary (can't be changed) and is at 1024x768. My secondary monitor is normally to the left of my LCD and is at 1280x1024. If I make it the left-most screen X windows work on the LCD perfectly but when dragged onto the second monitor they go blank. When I make my second monitor the left-most screen window contents display fine on that screen but only within the top-left 1024x768 of it. -rootless only allows display on the primary monitor, if I attempt to drag windows off the edge they end up over the edge but only displayed on the primary monitor. Using neither of the previous gives me a window with X inside it and works fine on either screen (but is not particularly usable within Windows). -- Justin Patrin -- 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/
