Primary one is two heads and two video cards with different resolutions and dpi. Xinerama and big desktop et al will use the lower setting for both. Some folk have 2 screens just because they've always done it that way for years and don't want to change These days the usual case is one video card with more than one output so you connect identical monitors to each. For that, one big desktop makes sense. > > -- > Joost > > -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
