Firefox / xinerama / 4 displays / not maximizing correctly


Hello all,

I am trying to run firefox in fullscreen mode, spanned across 4 monitors through xinerama (i.e. there is one browser window that spans all four screens). I can strech the window to cover all four screens; but that is counter intuitive for what I need to do (need to automatically launch X, open firefox maximized). I am not having a problem _configuring_ the four displays; I am having a problme maximizing firefox.

I would need to figure out a way to run firefox maximized across all four screens. I am using xorg & twm currently, but any X-server and window manager configuration that works will be used.

Any direction would be absolutely fantastic! Thanks again!

- bob

Current system:
Debian testing
xserver-xorg
twm

Nvidia riva 32 (agp)
3x matrox mellenium (pci)

xorg.conf as follows:

# xorg.conf (Xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following commands as root:
#
# cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.custom
# md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf >/var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
