i figured that much from reading the description, and it's definitely not what i am looking for. put it that way: i *know* that you can use Xinerama to make two heads behave like one bigger screen without the windowmanager or another Xclient worrying about it. i also know that UNIX and X don't really care whether something is local or through the network. ergo: i want a second head to be established through the network onto the Xserver which dominates the screen 2cm to the right of where i am typing this now. i doubt i'll need tools like x2x for that, what i am really looking for is a Screen entry for the ServerLayout section, which doesn't reference a Screen section, but rather something like 1.2.3.4:0.0 to make the 0.0 display of the machine at 1.2.3.4 behave just like a local screen. is this possible? or possible through other means? -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; net@madduck "in just seven days, i can make you a man!" -- the rocky horror picture show
