Twin View and SuSE 9.3
I have twinview up on my computers at home and its working, but the problem is that one of the screens is blowing the images out of proportion. I don't want the images spanned between the two screen but the wallpaper seems to span across the two of them. The main monitor (screen 0) blows all of the images way out and they overlap each other while monitor 1 seems to be working just fine. They are both the size monitors (different brands) and I want both of them to have the same resolution. Monitor 0 is the monitor that was picked up by sax2 and is hooked up through the VGA port on the card. Monitor 1 comes out of the DVI port, goes to a VGA convertor, and then to the monitor. This was not picked up by sax2 so I had to enter in the configuration information for the monitor.

I think this is a problem with your WM (window manager). Even though you are using twin view you still need your WM to have the xinerama support so it knows where to place windows...
If you could show a screenie, we might have a better idea of what your problem is though... |
Im using KDE 3.4 and it seems to be only doing it with that one. When I switched over to Gnome it still has the one wallpaper stretched across both screens but Firefox looks normal and not all blown out.

OK, maybe I misunderstood...
If your only complaint is that kde is stretching your wallpaper, I don't think there is much you can do other than actually using an image editor to create a desktop picture that is the size of both monitors resolution, ie: if you use 1024x768 on each monitor, you need a 2048x768 pixel wallpaper... I used the same wallpaper for mine, but with the right side a mirror image of the left, but of course you can have two completely different pictures if you want. Another option is to go to the 'background' panel in the KDE control center and change the image setting from "scaled" (which will stretch an image of any size to the entire size of your monitor(s)) to tiled, which will place the same image in it's proper proportions across on both monitors (assuming your wallpaper is the size of your screen...) Unfortunately KDE does not yet allow you to specify a wallpaper for each monitor... HTH... |
