Till today I was not able to configure it correctly and comfortable. (Tried with radeon and fglrx driver) My wonderful working solution is One computer for every screen. :)) Connect all them with synergy and it seems to be one computer! :) I am running a synergy setup with gentoo, mint, osx and windows8 and it is much better than every multi monitor solution. I know this is more a workaround as a solution, but multi monitor with linux is crap, and synergy is a wonderful tool! :))) On 10/25/2012 02:42 PM, Kfir Lavi wrote: > Hi, > I have a laptop and an external monitor. > I would like to have both monitors showing different desktops. > My aim is to have IRC and Email client on one side, and my shell and > programming stuff on the other side. > Currently I managed to do a big virtual workspace with XRANDR, but it > stretches the browser and it is hard to setup correctly. > I'm a Fluxbox user, and didn't find a way to define that starching the > window, will not stretch outside of the monitor I'm on. > This is why I would like each monitor have it's own desktop. > > Thanks, > Kfir > > virtual dual monitors: > xrandr --output LVDS1 --primary --mode 1280x800 --pos 0x0 --auto > --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 448x0 --primary
