Hi all,
I'm running a matrox card with two identical monitors in dual head mode
("merged" in matrox jargon). I end up with a screen of 2560x1024 over the
two displays. It works quite nicely.
I understand that many window managers play well with a xinerama set
up and do the things described in section 9. of the Xinerama HOWTO[1].
The main points are quoted here:
<from: Xinerama HOWTO - Chapter 9>
> * Intelligent placement of windows.

> - New windows should be placed in the current desktop.

> * Window Movements should have edge resistance between heads (Much

>
> * Dialogs and informative messages should not pop up Between Heads
</from: Xinerama HOWTO - Chapter 9>
I'd like to be able to get similar behaviour with my current setup.
Does anyone know how I could achieve this sort of behavior.
I currently use OpenBox 3 and gnome 2.6.
Thanks,
Nick.
