In XF86Config, is there a way to get one big X desktop to strech across two
monitors?
I'm running a Matrox G400 card with 2 monitors under XFree86 4.3.0, on
FreeBSD 4.8. The XF86Config file below gives one desktop per monitor, and
it isn't possible to drag a window from one monitor to the other.
BTW, my present setup doesn't use any special drivers from Matrox. I just
installed FreeBSD 4.8 and CVSup'ed it to 4.8-RELENG. I see Matrox has some
special Linux drivers for the G400 but at first glance they didn't look
buildable on BSD.
Thanks for any info!
