Electric Sheep using XscreenSaver on Nvidia TwinView

enternaL

I have a dualscreen setup with Nvidia TwinView. I can't get ElectricSheep to run fullscreen on one monitor. It runs a small square, half of it cut off on the right side of the screen on both monitors. And because there are two instances of Electricsheep, it's running as read-only (no other sheeps are downloaded).

Has anyone had any successful setups for Electricsheep using dualmonitors and/or Nvidia's TwinView?

The device section of my Xorg.conf

Try building xscreensaver without the xinerama use flag, it may not solve the size issue, but it will result in only one instance of the 'screensaver' binary being run. I've done this for ages with {x,g,k}dm and {k,x}screensaver.

Thanks! That works good enough for me

Somehow "--zoom 1" got taken out so that's why it was small, but not sure why it likes to be half-way off the screen. Anyways, thanks for that tip.

By the way, any idea where I can find the xscreensaver patch for voting? Been looking for a while now.

It never ceases to amaze me how people will post redundant and useless crap in old threads. Check the year of the thread first and then see if what you posted has already been mentioned.
