RE: Hydravision problem?
Thank you!
I tried setting the two displays to the same
resolution and it worked! Then I added two -screen
options with the correct native resolutions and it
works perfectly! Very nice too.
Thank you all again.

Note that it will go up and down and you can still see part of it

Does Hydravision expose two separate displays in the Display control
panel, Advanced tab (i.e. numbered 1 and 2 in the dialog)? If so,
what is the orientation of these displays? relative to the one
you have defined as the main screen (use this device as
primary monitor)? Can you click-and-drag both displays and report
the (x,y) coordinate of each one's upper-left corner (shows in
a balloon help window when you draw a monitor in the dialog)?
And are the X/Y pixel dimension of each monitor the same?
It looks like what's going on is the X/Y dimensions of the X root
window aren't matching the X/Y dimensions of the Win32 desktop for
some reason. The same thing happens if you use multiwindow
w/o the multiplemonitors option on a 2- or 3-head box...

RE: Hydravision problem?
Hi,
thanks for the suggestion.
I have updated to 4.3.0-59 and 4.3.0-60.
It is a little bit different behavior than the earlier version
I had.
On the secondary display the xterm seems fine. No
immediate issures.
On the primary display the refresh does not seem to work
correctly.

that works correctly. The size seems to vary from a sliver on the left

Re: Hydravision problem?
Peter, I'm afraid if you are using older versions of Cygwin/X. Please confirm its version by 'cygcheck -c XFree86-xserv' and upgrade if it is older than 4.3.0-59. Takuma Murakami Here is what I have used: REM Startup the X Server with the integrated Windows-based window manager. start XWin -multiwindow -multiplemonitors -clipboard REM Startup an xterm, using bash as the shell. run xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash I have also tried it with the -screen 0 -screen 1 options, and with just the screen options. -multiplemonitors seems to work best but I still have problems. The xterm window is partially blanked out with white. When I drag the window it flashes on both screens completely whiting out the xterm window. When I drop it, the xterm is just where it should be but the xterm window is still at least partially blanked out with white. Any ideas?
Re: Hydravision problem?
Peter, I am trying to run cywin X on an IBM T41p laptop with an extra display connected. IBM uses ATI and Hydravision for their laptops. The dual display seems to work fine in windows mode. The external display is an WXGA (1280x768) although the ati card will only support 1024x768. The main lcd display of the note book is 1400x1050. So I am trying to run X in multiwindow mode. I have tried it with and without -screen 0 -screen1 options. In all cases the xterm seems to want to be in both displays kinda flashing around on both. Any ideas, or known problems? Please try to use -multimonitors option. Takuma Murakami
