[gentoo-user] Re: [Fluxbox-users] dual monitors and dual desktops

2012-10-25 Thread Kfir Lavi
Thanks for your reply.
This program does just what xrandr does.
I didn't find a way to separate screens. It seems to define by default a
virtual workspace, and let you just put both screens in this virtual
workspace.
The command at the bottom of this mail does just that.

I want that the monitors will not show the same workspace. Both should show
different desktops.
It is like running xorg twice.

 I have the same setup and arandr does the job perfectly. Moreover, it
 saves the settings as script that you can call upon boot.

  Hi,
  I have a laptop and an external monitor.
  I would like to have both monitors showing different desktops.
  My aim is to have IRC and Email client on one side, and my shell and
  programming stuff on the other side.
  Currently I managed to do a big virtual workspace with XRANDR, but it
  stretches the browser and it is hard to setup correctly.
  I'm a Fluxbox user, and didn't find a way to define that starching the
  window, will not stretch outside of the monitor I'm on.
  This is why I would like each monitor have it's own desktop.
 
  Thanks,

 Do you have an nvidia video card? If so I would recommend running
 nvidia-setting to configure your displays. This is what I use after
 trying {a,x,g}randr. I found it a little easier to use with an on-screen
 view of how my monitors would display. Look under the X Server Display
 Configuration section. It should be fairly easy to set up. I launch it
 from my startup file because writing out the config to xorg.conf after I
 change my display layout doesnt succeed for reasons i cant remember.
