Re: Help Needed For Multiple Monitors

2007-07-11 Thread Geordy Korte

Hi,

Try restarting the X server.  If you start the X server and after that
you switch on the secondi screen in windows then you will get these
white screens.  Samething happens if you resize your screen.  Should
that not help then here is my X server startup:

%RUN% XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error

Cheers,

Geordy

connected.  I can drag windows from one to the other display *as if*
the two monitors were connected physically (they are not).  So I have
one computer (my laptop) and two displays.

what I notice is that when I open startx, the window displays well on
the screen of the laptop, but not on the extra monitor.  When I drag
it there, it becomes white and nothing is visible inside the window.

I searched the archives and googled and googled.  Best I got was an
advice to add -multiplemonitors the list of options for X to start.
I did that, and it does not help.   What should I be doing?  (I am
using the latest cygwin).

Thanks.

Hi Geordy:

I tried what you said and it still does not change anything.  In
additon, i tried the -multiplemonitors options too, without success.

I don't know how to solve this.
