Hello all,
I've got two monitors connected to my NVidia card, one is connected via VGA and the other one is connected via DVI, and it's setup with Xinerama. Xgl/Compiz runs just fine with this setup, but there's one thing that annoys me and that is the cube... It's currently one big cube covering both monitors.
My questions is; Is it possible to get two independent cubes, one per monitor, and if so, how?
Compiz version is 0.4.0.
Thanks, Magnus
Hi Magnus
I think this is possible if you are using Beryl, but I haven't seen a way to do this with 'pure' compiz. Under Beryl-manager->Desktop->Desktop Cube->Options->Multimonitor mode->One big cube/Multiple cubes.
From the compiz maintainer:
It's not really possible to get multiple independent cubes in either
compiz or beryl at the moment. The input transformation support that
will be added to compiz soon will allow this but without that it's
impossible.
The beryl option that is called multiple-cubes is the behavior of
compiz, which is a different cube face for each monitor but they are not
independent (you can't rotate one without rotating all other ones).
The "one big cube" option in beryl is just a small hack for those who
prefer it to look like one big cube instead of mapping each monitor to a
separate cube face. It doesn't change any functionality, it just makes
it look like compiz in not multi-head aware.
