[GRLUG] Xdmx support

[Joe Royston]

I am currently installing Xubuntu which uses Xfce.  Are there any other window managers that anyone knows of that might do this?

First off, I am using Xdmx with a kubuntu (KDE) box and an ubuntu box (GNOME).  My end goal is to have 3 displays, running off of 3 different computers showing a single, unified video clip.  I am using Xdmx to accomplish this.  I have gotten Xdmx working on the first 2 boxes (third box will be up and running in a week or so) fine.

Here is the problem.  When I fullscreen the movie playing, it fullscreens to only 1 display.  Doing some research, it has to do with the window manager being 'xinerama aware'.  Does anyone know how to disable the window manager in KDE from being xinerama aware?

You might try using a different window manager, particularly if this
this is a single-purpose setup.
