<div dir="ltr">I am assuming that this modification would have to be a collaborative effort between X and GDM/KDE or whatever desktop manager is being used, but I really do not know enough to say. It may even have affects on the window manager too... hopefully you guys can tell me.<br>
<br>I filed this idea on Ubuntu's brainstorm a while back, but I would like to hear the developers thoughts, and see if it is technically feasible.<br><br><a href="http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/11787/">http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/11787/</a><br>
<br><br>Basically in a multiple monitor setup I would like each monitor to be a viewport to the same instance of X and same set of workspaces. Each monitor could view any available workspace independently of the other monitors. If two monitors are displaying the same workspace then their views are cloned. GDM and Compiz already handle windows larger than workspaces as well as windows spanning workspaces which would make this setup very, very, versatile.<br>
<br>I think the brainstorm has a more elaborate description; hopefully you understand what I am trying to convey.<br><br>So I guess basically my question is what would it take to do this, and is it possible?<br><br><br>Thanks,<br>
