Separate X screens

Post by amleivar »

Hi all, I am trying to set separate x screens with LXDE, and although I have two separate desktops where I can set two different background images I don't have any panel launcher. I have achieved the configuration by using nvidia-xconfig --separate-x-screens. Could you help me adding launching panels to the second desktop? Thanks in advance

Regards, Álvaro

Welcome to the LXDE forum. Does this help?

Hi Rex, thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it. The thing is, that as I understand it, the xrandr command is used to achieve the separate screen things, but as I have performed that step with nvidia-settings (through /etc/X11/xorg.conf) I guess I don't need it. What I am in need of is a way to launch lxpanel and pxcmanfm in the second screen, something like described here: http://wiki.lxde.org/pt/LXDE:FAQ#How_do ... onitors.3F. But I have tried and didn't work...
