As far as I understand Xinarama and multi-head, the setup you describe is not possible. Either you are running Xinareama and *one* fvwm, or you have a multi-head setup and one fvwm for each screen. With Xinerama you can move windows to all video screens, with multi-head you can't. Can you please post: - the relevant parts of you X config - the lines you use to start fvwm - all Xinerama and Desktop settings from your .fvwm2rc I need this information tu understand what you are doing. > I would > greatly prefer if they were using the SAME FvwmPager, so that any > monitor can be displaying an arbitrary virtual desktop from my 3x2 set, > rather than any desktop from 2 completely different 3x2 sets. > > Is there any way to do this currently?
