Re: starting X on an alternate monitor


Eric Gumtow wrote:

I'm trying to start X with the root on monitor #2.  This is my
command line:

X -fullscreen -ac -emulate3buttons -clipboard -multiplemonitors
-screen 0 @2 &

What happens is X starts on monitor #1.

I've read through the FAQ and X's help page.  Based on what I've
found from those sources it ought to work.

I'm on XP. XP has no problems with monitor #2.

Here's my uname -a:

CYGWIN_NT-5.1 EGUMTOW-LXP 1.5.18(0.132/4/2) 2005-07-02 20:30 i686
unknown unknown Cygwin

What am I missing? Thanks.

Have you tried it with @1 instead of @2?
