Subject: Xterm doesn't work on second display in dual head system
yet another problem: I use a dual head display based on a
Matrox G400DH card in a Win2K system. When starting
Xfree86/cygwin it opens an xterm window that works while it
is on the main display. But when I drag it into the second
display it doesn't accept keystrokes anymore. They get
buffered, though: They appear when I drag the window back
into the primary display.
Is that a bug or have I misconfigured anything?
------------------------------------------
Let me guess, the 2nd monitor is to the left of your primary display,
right? The old version of the XWin.exe server didn't support multihead
displays with negative origins, but the latest "test" releases have
had this bug fixed for a month or two.
Check the announcement for Test91, the last test release IIRC,
to get a newer exe:
