hi,

I have a radeon 9800pro and am currently using dual head with two monitors, which works very well with 3D acceleration going at a decent speed for both monitors.

Right now, I have an independent instance of gnome running on each head (completely independent with settings folders for each in my home directory (a .gnome for monitor A and a .gnome2 for monitor B)

My problem is that I'd like to have a different window manager on the second screen. ATI states it's possible in their documentation:
Quote:

Dual Head

* Independent displays and video modes are possible for each monitor
* Each monitor uses a separate framebuffer and separate instance of XFree86
o Items CANNOT be dragged from one screen to the other
* It is possible to run two separate window managers in this configuration (one on each monitor)


but I can't seem to find any reference or documentation of how to have a separate window manager for each monitor.

Any ideas?
