RE: Can't make XWin on secondary monitor big enough...


Try putting in the -multiplemonitors option.
When I had the same problem last year, the option helped.

 If you run XWin --help, you get the following:

 >	 -screen 0 @1 ; on 1st monitor using its full 
 resolution (the default)
 
 BTW - I didn't say so in my OP, but I also tried "XWin -screen 
 0 @1", which 
 is suggested above, and that only got me a 1024x768 windowed 
 XWin on the 
 secondary monitor.
