I have a windows setup running across two 1280 x 1024 monitors.
More by luck than design I can create a large desktop with
xwin, and can drag it to use it over the two monitors.
I have also successfully got kde2 running from startx and it
is working nicely, again dragged onto either monitor.
Now the problem - how do I either get xwin to build a window
bigger than a single screen, or get it to position it on the
second monitor at startup. The idea is to have multiple
montors each with a different 'xserver' screen. I have
machines with 8 displays running with scrolling information
and am trying to move them to Linux via the back door, for
which cygwin may provide a half way house.
I'm sure that some simple pointers will advance by
understanding of who this bit hangs together <g>
