|
|
hi there!
i try to figure out if its possible to scale the position of the smaller monitor of a dual view desktop? (one's 17" @ 1024*768, the other 19" @ 1200*1024) it should work as it is in windows, there change for example the position of the smaller monitor to "the bottom" instead of "at the top" of the workspace.
i hope you understand what i'm talking about.
tanks for every idea!

What you want is so that the bottom of the screens, the menu bar is aligned. In this way moving along the bottom of the screens from one to the other and back would work without any "step" jump. While the top would be "stepped down".
In xorg this is governed by the ServerLayout section of the xorg.conf file. Specifically the directives such as "Screen 1 Left Of Screen 0". However this would also be affected by the type of dual-head system you are using, i.e. Xinerama versus another one.
As a first pass I would suggest looking in the Xorg docs on ServerLayout. _________________ Linux, the OS for the obsessive-compulsive speed freak in all of us. |

ok, i take it's time - but I figured it out:
you had to add the X and Y positions at the server-area at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code: |
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "xinerama Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 256
Screen 1 "Screen1" 1024 0
Option "Xinerama" "on"
Option "Clone" "off"
EndSection
|
important are just the numbers defined at the "Screen" line
greetings, scott |
