[gentoo-user] Dialogue placement when using TwinView

[gentoo-user] Dialogue placement when using TwinView

[Andrew Lowe]

Hi all,
	A quick question before I do a huge world rebuild. I've recently built 
a Gentoo box with has a twinhead setup, an nVidia graphics card and two 
monitors. I've got everything up and running fine, EXCEPT for one thing, 
dialogue placement. When a dialogue pops up, it pops up right in the 
middle of the virtual screen which is the line between the two monitors. 
I used to have it set up so that when a dialogue popped up, it would pop 
up central to one of the monitors - but now I can't remember how I 
actually had it set up to do this.

	I had a look at my USE flags and I don't have "xinerama" set. An 
"emerge -NuD --pretend world" shows a whole lot of graphics apps that 
would be rebuilt if I did have this value set. Is this the reason why my 
dialogues are not centering to one monitor? I also noticed that when I 
full screen a window, it goes right across both monitors, previously 
this would have only gone over one screen.

	So in summary, is "xinerama" most likely the answer to my problems?

	Regards,
