I know this discussion is long dead, but I seem to recall from my previous workplace that if you're using Twinview you're not using Xinerama, because Twinview presents the two monitors as a single one to the X server... It may affect why things work at your employer and not at home. -- Cameron Simpson c...@zip.com.au DoD#743

You can test Xinerama if you configure fvwm with
--enable-xinerame-emulation.
but does the following patch do anything
to help fix this? I warn you it's complete theory on my part, so
expect a quirk or fifty. ;)

Re: FVWM: stick between screen
2009/3/16 Jason Weber baboon.im...@gmail.com: The right edge of the window sticks to the right edge of the left monitor, but the left edge of the window is unaffected by the left edge of the right monitor. Heh, I thought as much -- but then I did warn you. :) Before I think about this more, is not the following an acceptable solution for you? Style * EdgeMoveResistance 900 90 xinerama-scrolling It more or less already *does* what you're wanting. -- Thomas Adam
Re: FVWM: stick between screen
I did a quick check this morning and that seemed to work. I had: Style * EdgeResistance 500 30 which didn't work [anymore] even if I added xinerama-scrolling. I'll have to read about the difference. Thanks for the assistance. -- Jason Weber On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 6:33 AM, Thomas Adam thomas.ada...@gmail.com wrote: 2009/3/16 Jason Weber baboon.im...@gmail.com: The right edge of the window sticks to the right edge of the left monitor, but the left edge of the window is unaffected by the left edge of the right monitor.

It wasn't until my lunch break at work that I broke down and emulated that with XineramaSLS which worked quite well.

FVWM: stick between screen
This has been bugging me for a few weeks and I haven't figured out what happened or how to fix it. It used to work until recently and it still works at my employer (on redhat) but not my current ubuntu at home. With Style * SnapAttraction 12 SameType Screen I believe windows should stick to the line between my two monitors. I can't imagine why you wouldn't want this unless you somehow have borderless monitors. I've tried turning on Xinerama options in xorg and fvwm. Maybe I missed the right combination. I'm using Ubuntu 64-bit Desktop X.Org X Server 1.5.2 Quadro FX 1300 NVIDIA X Driver 173.14.12 1600x1200 CRT and 1920x1200 LCD TwinView mode I tried Xinerama On XineramaSls On XineramaSlsScreens 2 1600x1200+0+0 1920x1200+1600+0 Section ServerFlags Option Xinerama 1 EndSection -- Jason Weber
