Just in case someone else out there is having this same problem; both video
cards must be set to the same bit depth for -multiplemonitors to work
properly.
Now if I could just get XWin compiled to see if the WM_DISPLAYCHANGE fix
will work...

Hi,
I have just reinstalled my machine and therefore had to do a fresh
install
of Cygwin.
-multiplemonitors now works fine on my home machine, but for some
reason,
it still only uses one display on my computer at work. I'll have a look at
the log file and post back when I get a chance.
One thing I have noticed, that might be a nice simple feature to add
is
this -
If I start Xwin in -rootless mode at 1024x768, it creates an
invisible root
window at screen coordinates 0,0
If I then play a DirectX game that changes the display's resolution to
800x600, when I exit the game, the XWin invisible root window is now shifted
over to the right.
My fix would be simple:
If running in rootless mode and the resolution changes, move the invisible
root window back to 0,0.
Thanks.
