My two cents : I agree that this setup (with 2 screens) isn't useless at all! I had the same setup a few years ago, when PA didn't exist, very nice. Someone could watch a movie on the TV while I was working on the other screen. But I thought that the multiple screen feature has been removed from X a while ago? Has it been readded? Anyway, I'm offtopic, so ignore me if you must ;) Regards JK <div class="gmail_quote">2009/10/26 Leszek Koltunski <<a href="mailto:leszek@koltunski.pl">leszek@koltunski.pl</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> > > Yepp, and I'd argue the non-xinerama setup is useless. (...) I long had a feeling that I am being a pest with my dual screen, no-one seems to like it :) Least of all the people in the Gnome mailinglist... 1) Think about this usercase (that I already wrote about before): - a monitor and a soundcard 1 - a TV, standing in another room, soundcard 2 - bluetooth mouse & keyboard. Connect the TV to your nvidia TV-out; fire up 'nvidia-settings'; setup the TV. You've got 2 options: - 'separate X screen' - 'TwinView' ( xinerama ) since TV is in another room, Xinerama makes little sense and actually makes things harder ( mostly because various windows which are supposed to pop up in the center of the screen pop up between the monitor and TV and you cannot easily see them, especially since the TV is most of the time disconnected! ) So you set up the separate X screen. This works very nicely (apart from a few little bugs in Gnome-panel ) You can enjoy watching movies or picture slides on your TV. It's really much better than Xinerama. ********************************************************************** Furthermore, I already have a simple patch which IMHO does not screw up anything for the single-monitor and Xinerama people while ALMOST-WORKING ;) for all those dual-screen pests. I'll post it in another message.
