SUMMARY: Multiscreens ?
Hi everybody,
A couple of days ago we launched the following question :
****************************************************************
* We are looking for a way to manage multiscreens on a *
* DEC alpha. Looking in the man pages for Mwm, the only *
* thing we learned was to use the resource : *
* Mwm*multiScreen which should be set to True. Now the *
* only minor detail that has to be solved is how to *
* switch between screens! *
****************************************************************
Many answers came in. Basicaly they all had the same message.
1. Mwm cannot manage multiple *virtual* screens. The -multiscreen
option in mwm is intended to allow mwm to handle multiple physical
screens.
2. I you want multiple virtual desktops, and keep window decorations
and menus similar to mwm you have to run fvwm. You can get it at :
spcot.sanders.com:/pub/fvwm/
Thanks to all who responded.
Ciao,
Lars & Erik.
