pcmanfm 0.5.2 screen position, dual monitor

Post by moere »

Hi there.


I am using lxde and pcmanfm 0.5.2 manages my desktop.

I have two monitors (nvidia, twinview)
and lxrandr recognizes it as one big Screen.
That is okey.

But pcmanfm appears sometimes on both screens and sometimes only on
the right one.

I didnt find no option for manipulating its behaviour.
Are there any logs I can look into so I can find out on
what information it does its decision to appear on both
or only on the right screen?

When I use pcmanfm with --display=X-display or --screen=X-display
it wont start.
Maybe I use the wrong synthax or the wrong name for the X-display.
Where can I find out the names or the name of my X-display?

Thanks for any comments.

Hi,

have you tried to use the new PCManFM? (Consider it's not a final version!)

Hi,

no I have not.

But I would like to stick to the "old" version untill the new version is "done" "completly".
