SXCE snv_114 SRSS 4.1 multihead maximize across both screens

807578May 25 2009 — edited Jun 4 2009
I have been running snv_104 for some time and several versions prior with success using SRSS 4.1.

This is a home setup (mostly to keep me current on Solaris, which we use at work).

Several attempts at upgrading past 104 have caused SRSS to quit working, but today I found [bug 6799655|http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6799655] , which claims to be fixed as of 110, but still is a problem in 114. At any rate, the workaround works and now SRSS is functioning.

The setup is an Acer laptop, 4GB RAM, dual-core 1.6 GHz Turion driving 3 desks, each having two Sunray 1 (earliest model) appliances. Most displays are 1280x1024.

After the upgrade to 114, the maximize button on any window maximizes it across BOTH screens, rendering the maximize function useless. Otherwise, all works as expected.

Output from utxconfig.

bash-3.2$ /opt/SUNWut/bin/utxconfig -lv
DIMENSIONS=auto (default)
ENABLE_PSEUDOCOLOR_VISUAL=no (default)
DEFAULT_PSEUDOCOLOR_VISUAL=no (default)
ENABLE_MULTISCREEN=yes (default)
ENABLE_XINERAMA=yes (default)
ENABLE_XKB=yes (default)
SCREEN_GEOMETRY=auto (default)
SCREEN_ORDER=auto (default)
XSERVER_PREF=Xnewt (default)

Any suggestions on how to keep maximize from spanning both monitors?

Thanks in advance,
Marty
