XWin on Larger Secondary Monitor?

- Reply-to: cygwin-xfree at cygwin dot com
Hello,
I'm running a weird configuration and would like to see if anyone has this
working.
I have a laptop with a secondary monitor. The primary (laptop screen) is
1400 x 1050. The secondary monitor is a larger 1600 x 1200.
I'd like to launch xwin on the secondary monitor such that the root window
fills the screen. Can anyone tell me how to do this? The closest that I
could get was to run in -multimonitor mode - but that filled both of my
screens with a giant root window.
Currently I'm settling with running XWin on the primary monitor and moving
it to the secondary. So it fills *most* of the screen...
Thanks!
-Sean
