Expand desktop over 4 displays
Hey folks,
at my workstation I'm using 2 NVidia Quadros and 4 TFTs.
I already got the dual/quad view working by configuring the xorg.conf file.
But I've got a small problem in expanding the desktop over all the four displays.
The taskbar (panel) is just on the first two monitors. The other two screens work well, I can move a window on them, but when I maximize a window, it either fills the first two displays or the other two.
Here's my ServerLayout Section:
I think the problem is in the ServerLayout there are two Screens declared. If there was only one screen, the taskbar would fill the complete width of all 4 displays and windows would maximize over all the displays.Code:Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Screen0" Screen "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" Option "Clone" "off" Option "Xinerama" "on" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection
Now my question: How can I solve this problem? Maybe it's possible to combine the two screens to one so the x server has only one screen as desktop?
Thank you very much
Here's my complete xorg.conf file:
