 Posted: Tue Aug 13, 2013 1:25 am Post subject: Maximize windows on current physical screen |
 |
|
I have a two monitor setup. I got double monitor set-up to work fine with one exception: windows maximized span on both monitors. I would like to get the windows to maximize on current physical monitor.
Here is the xorg.conf:
| Code: |
# File: xorg.conf
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Server Layout"
# Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
# Option "Xinerama" "1"
EndSection
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/local/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/"
EndSection
Section "Module"
#SubSection "extmod" #Seems an older version xorg.conf
#Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension #Maybe this line was causing problems...
#EndSubSection
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
Load "extmod"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
#Option "Protocol" "keyboard"
#Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
#Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"

Driver "evdev"

#Option "XkbLayout" "ca"
Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:super_win"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"

Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbModel" "evdev"
#Option "XkbLayout" "ca"

EndSection
Section "InputDevice"

EndSection

And here is the output from xrandr -q:

su -c '/opt/bin/nvidia-settings'

x server display configuration -> configuration -> seperate x screen -> save to x configuration file.....
if its not that then its twin view. i dont have 2 screens hooked up right now but did a while ago. |

Creating a new screen does work but does not allow drag and drop from one monitor to another. They just act like totally separate "screens".
I will read more about twin view. Not sure how to set that up yet and see if that solves the issue. |

TwinView doesn't really work either. Maybe I do not know how to set it. Here is the xorg.conf:
