Re: different resolutions on different monitors


Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

The command I am using to invoke XWin is just:
XWin -multiwindow -multimonitors

I am using 2 monitors, one with 1280x1024 and the other with 1024x768.
When I start the X server using the -multiwindow option then start an
app (such as xterm) the application always opens in the top corner of
the smaller monitor at a point where the top of the window is off the
screen. I can't get to the title bar to move the window so in order to
see everything I have to tile or cascade the windows which is a pain.



This could be a bug in the -multiplemonitors implementation. Please post the exact command you use to invoke XWin.exe.



Is there some way to set the default location on the screen the windows
open?

Thanks for the help.

As a temporary workaround, look into the "-geometry" option that any X app
should support ('PAGER="less -p GEOMETRY" man X' should do it).
