Hi,

I am currently trying to configure fvwm (fvwm-crystal) for a Twinview setup
using Nividia's drivers (1.0.6629) but i am running in to some problems:

1 When i enable Xinerama using:
$ Xinerama On
nothing really happens and new windows still appear in the center of the 2
screens.

I Tried to resolve this using:
$ XineramaSlsSize 2x1
$ XineramaSls On
$ Xinerama On

This helps, when i maximize a window it will maximize within the same screen,
the MoveToScreen command work etc. However new problems have surfaced:
1 mplayer window still spans 2 screens when i "fullscreen"
2 Games (HL2) show the same behaviour, the window spans the whole screen
3 (This is the weirdest), fvwm-crystal has some menu's that can be popped up
by clicking an titlebar icon while pressing Alt, these menu's will now open
on the primary screen, this is an problem when the window is on the secondary
screen.
I have tried to resolve the menu issue by creating an Style:
$ Style * StartsOnScreen c
to have everything open in the screen where the cursor is but the effect is
the opposite of what i want, although it does seem to have the expected
behaviour it will now open every menu on "the other screen": request a menu
on the primary and it opens on the secondary and the other way around!!?

My questions:
1. Is there a way to make windows Fullscreen in only one screen (like mplayer
and HalfLife)?
2. What could be the reasong StartsOnScreen behaves this way ?
3. Why do i have to use XineramaSls in stead of just Xinerama On before i can
use any Xinerama features.

Thanks,

Mark
