Re: [SLUG] Intrepid mulimonitor setup

[Jake Anderson <yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

you can make the 2 cubes as a setting in compiz
you need to install compiz settings manager to get that option.

xinearama is another way of getting 2 monitors into one X session, 
basically it lets applications know that there are 2 screens rather than 
one super large screen.

to move an app from one screen to another just drag it over.

The only other way is "seperate x sessions" but you probably don't want 
that.
