[gentoo-user] TwinView Question

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 483 bytes --]

hey,

I have tried to configure TwinView for my laptop and whatever comes
(projector, crt etc..) and everything seems good except, and that is a
bit annoying, that the desktop (xfce-panel..) is on the wrong screen,
i.e. not on my Laptop display but on the second one. That is a bit shit,
since I always have to look over what is on the other screen and drag it
back etc..
Does anyone see what's wrong in my xorg.conf? I have attached it this
mail.
Thanks and greets to all,

Karsten

when I understood correctly, there's nothing you can do.

* The TwinView Option is special for NVidia cards
* This setting has nothing to do with Xinerama
* X therefore only sees one card
* AFAIK the external monitor always is the primary monitor on NVidia's 
TwinView

So I guess there's no way around it.


Best regards

 that's sad.. =(

I have not seen anything in the xfce-menu about where you could set the
screen for the panel but haha... one could just drag it over! The only
thing that's left is the taskbar, it does not seem to move when I drag
it...  otherwise I'll use some other window manager for performing on
the other display (I want to run a pd/pdp window on the second screen
and the white "stripe" of the hidden taskbar is annoying).

Might not help much, but in KDE, Control Center, Desktop, Panels, 
Arrangement,
you can set the Xinerama screen between 1,2, all, which controls which 
monitor
the KDE panel is displayed on.  Maybe xfce has something similar?

HTH,

see this page found with google about twin view,
http://www.gmpf.de/index.php/NVidia:TwinView

anyways the quick answer is add 'Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"' to
your driver section. and as a note AFAIK twinview dosn't give seperate
screens, so things like :0.1 may not work.

the problem remains: the external monitor is the master monitor, and 
this can lead to problems when the external monitor isn't present 
(which can happen if you're on the road with a notebook).

Maybe I'm wrong or there's a workaround, but at least these are my 
experiences.

I have seen and tried the twinview tutorial, thought that was not the
last word tho..
I do have tried to use X with this configuration and up to now there
were no problems really when I had no 'second' monitor.
