I did search online (only finding X related solutions) and stumbled upon wsdisplay after searching through manpages for a while, but there was too much terminology and system knowledge that I did not know about for me to conclude what exactly I need to do. Next time I will try to include more context to avoid confusion though. :) Thanks again and all the best, Unicorn
