Hi,
Thank you for your reply !
I guess i'll have to look into the meta modes thing in the driver README, as i
have two identical tft screens i do not want to disable one of the 2 in
1280x1024 and i do not want to play games in 1024 :-S
So XineramaSls is really the way to go as i thought it was not really the same
after reading this part in the fvwm manpage:
"For multi-screen implementations other than Xinerama, such as Single
Logical Screen, it is possible to simulate a Xinerama configuration if
the total screen seen by fvwm is made up of equal sized monitors in a
rectangular grid. The commands XineramaSls, XineramaSlsSize and Xin-
eramaSlsScreens are used to configure this feature."
I Will try the XineramaSlsScreens though to define the screens as I haven't
done that yet, but i still have some doubts about this because I do not
understand what would make the menu's popup in the wrong screen.
You do not use StartsOnScreen c but this should be default behaviour so it
doesn't explain why A:
my menu's popup only on the primary screen with the default, and B:
my menu's popup on the opposite screen while defining StartsOnScreen c.
I'll try tonight and post my success/failure.
Mark.
