Hey folks,<br> <br>
at my workstation I'm using 2 NVidia Quadros and 4 TFTs. <br>
I already got the dual/quad view working by configuring the xorg.conf file.<br> <br>
But I've got a small problem in expanding the desktop over all the four displays.<br>
The taskbar (panel) is just on the first two monitors. The other two
screens work well, I can move a window on them, but when I maximize a
window, it either fills the first two displays or the other two. <br> <br>
Here's my ServerLayout Section:<br><br><span id="nointelliTXT"><pre class="alt2" style="border: 1px inset ; margin: 0px; padding: 6px; overflow: auto; width: 640px; height: 162px;">Section "ServerLayout"<br> Identifier "Default Layout"
<br> Screen "Screen0"<br> Screen "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0"<br> Option "Clone" "off"<br> Option "Xinerama" "on"<br> InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
<br> InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"<br>EndSection</pre></span><br><br>
I think the problem is in the ServerLayout there are two Screens
declared. If there was only one screen, the taskbar would fill the
complete width of all 4 displays and windows would maximize over all
the displays.<br> <br>
Now my question: How can I solve this problem? Maybe it's possible to
combine the two screens to one so the x server has only one screen as
desktop? <br> <br>
Thank you very much <img src="http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" class="inlineimg" border="0"><br> <br> <br> <br>
