Then the application probably doesn't use the data we gave it. The most common use-case for fakeXinerama is applications that maximize or go fullscreen, as they may choose to only do so on one monitor. > I even compiled with DEBUG so I see the messages that the client application > is reading in the geometry ... but I don't see effects on the xpra client. > > Also, from the original question: I think it should be more > 2 > 1366 0 1920 1200 > 3286 0 1920 1080 > > ? Because the actual X area would be 5206x1200 with my 3 monitor setup.
