Fluxbox: 3 or more monitors, how?
 
My xorg.conf is configured to use three monitors via two graphics cards and works with KDE.

(My) Fluxbox wont work with three monitors.

~/.fluxbox/init has configuration details for:
session.screen0
session.screen1

and these work fine on a dual monitor configuration with a single graphics card.

However adding:
session.screen2 configuration details does not make use of the third monitor.

Searching the web reveals lots of 'Fluxbox howtos' for dual monitor systems but not more than that.

The problem was me ...
 
My .fluxbox/startup file has:
xclock &

I had somehow accidentally removed the: &

Therefore the start up sequence for Fluxbox was not progressessing any further than xclock. After putting the '&' back again, things are now working as expected.

My .fluxbox/init file still needs to be configured to customise the third screen but currently, as I type, all three monitors are displaying separate Fluxbox desktops, which is what I want.

I don't know if there is a: 'Weekly LQ Dufus Award' but if there is, I would like to apply and at the same time apologise for this thread.
