Thanks rhkramer,
I appreciate the vote of confidence. Perhaps "separate X screens" is
something which only a small percentage of user are multi-tasking enough to
take advantage of. However, I am one of them. I do appreciate assistance and
suggestions from other users as to how to accomplish what I am working on.
I do not necessarily appreciate being told I do not want to do what I want
to do.
As to a HUGE monitor... I had thought about that. I could run 4 virtual
machines each taking up 1/4 of the display. But I just purchases two nice
Dell 24" Ultrasharp 19:10 aspect ratio monitors. The left one is vertical
and the right one horizontal. The vertical one is usually divided in half -
Thunderbird on the top half and a virtual machine connected to my secure
email at protonmail.ch on the bottom. I call up Firefox when I need it over
top of the two or I may switch to another workspace first. On the right
monitor I often have several things going on 3 or 4 workspaces.
Well, I use multiple monitors with single X screen in pretty much the
same way - except I can put any of the virtual desktops on any of the
monitors.
Since you have one portrait and one landscape monitor moving the
virtual desktops between the two will probably not be flawless. Still
that does not mean you need to configure the X server in such a way it
is impossible - you can just not do it.
As has been pointed out the Zaphod options should give you multiple X
screens but since next to nobody uses these there may be issues. In
fact, the very article you linked lists multiple issues when using
multiple monitors with separate screens.
Thanks
Michal
I guess I will just stick with Nvidia cards and ignore the Intel graphics
