Dualhead wants fullscreen on one screen - fluxbox
 
Well as the topic says, I have dualscreen and fullscreen makes programs fullscreen the whole desktop (fills both screens) but I want fullscreen to make them only fill up one screen.

here's the part of my xorg.conf that I think might be helpful.

Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier    "X.org Configured"
Screen      "Screen0"
Option "Xinerama" "on"
Screen      "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0"
InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
-edit-
seems like it only fullscreens one screen on icewm, so whats needed is to change the fluxbox config somehow

Which desktop are we talking about? Gnome, KDE, Xfce?

I'm using fluxbox

when you asked that i went looking in the .fluxbox/init and found
session.screen0.fullMaximization: false

but this seems to be as it should be, right?

Uhm, When I changed to archlinux fluxbox gave fullscreen on only one monitor, but now I changed to gentoo, and using the same xorg,conf , .fluxbox/init and menu it still gives me fullscreen on both monitors.

One other problem is that when I start warcraft3 with cedega, it puts it on the wrong monitor, this didn't either happen in archlinux.

You want to comment out the Option "Xinerama" "on" line in the config file and make sure that you have Load "xtrap" in the modules section in the file. If this does not do what you want can you post the config file so we can see it.

This gives me two workspaces, and what I want is one big but with apps that maximizes on one of the monitors.

heres my xorg.conf
-Agh it was to big! I'll put in the most important parts...

I had this same problem with gentoo, xfce and 3 monitors the problem is the xinerama use flag isn't set in gentoo by default so while xorg supports xinerama your apps don't add xinerama to your use flags in /etc/make.conf mine looks like this:

Code:
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically built this stage
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"

USE="-gnome -kde gtk gtk2 dvd alsa jack cdr xinerama"

PORTAGE_NICENESS=6
then do a:

Code:
emerge --update --deep --newuse world
this fixed the problem for me

This problem has little to do with your xorg.conf. As long as you can load fluxbox and move windows between the two screens then Xinerama is working correctly. The problem lies with fluxbox. Go to a terminal and type:

Code:
fluxbox -info
This will list options that are compiled into fluxbox. If one of the lines is "-XINERAMA" then you do NOT have xinerama support. You need to re-compile fluxbox with the --enable-xinerama configuration argument.

Good luck!
