My setup has multiple monitors (or dual monitors). Since I may not be
using the correct term for that, let me just describe that to remove
any ambuguity. I have the laptop display and then a monitor
connected. I can drag windows from one to the other display *as if*
the two monitors were connected physically (they are not). So I have
one computer (my laptop) and two displays.
what I notice is that when I open startx, the window displays well on
the screen of the laptop, but not on the extra monitor. When I drag
it there, it becomes white and nothing is visible inside the window.
I searched the archives and googled and googled. Best I got was an
advice to add "-multiplemonitors" the list of options for X to start.
I did that, and it does not help. What should I be doing? (I am
using the latest cygwin).
Thanks.
