dont use xinerama. use plain old fashioned multihead then (caveat - u cant drag windows between screens or stretch them across screens)
Second read on this from Rasterman, originally I misread it to say 'u can drag...' My bad. Something I'll have to get used to I guess...
I do this, and it's terrific. Why drag things across monitors when they are different resolutions and quality (as in my case). I use monitor 0 for panel (kicker), email, and newsgroups, and compiling (1024x768) and monitor 1 for browsing, graphics, program testing, windows (boo hiss) at 1280x1024.
Since my monitors are so close in size, I run them at the same resolution. Physical screen dimensions are less than 1 cm difference.
My ONLY gripe is that E thinks the desktops are the same for both monitor heads, so my background and settings and themes are the same for each desktop on each monitor.
Which version of E are you running? 16.7.1 here. I have different backgrounds on my two monitors.
I still would like to be able to move windows from monitor to monitor. :(
Interestingly, I can change a theme on one monitor, but that will become the default for E next boot for both screens.
I'm also able to change themes independently.
