I am currently running Archlinux-64 with xfce4 and dual monitors. I have seperate Xorgs for each monitor and I do not use Xinerra. Does anyone know how to a take a screenshot of dual monitors with seperate Xorgs? I normally use scrot but any program will do.
Thanks

I think you will only be able to take a shot of one at a time. But I may be wrong.

According to scrot's --help output, the -m (or --multidisp) option will take a shot of both. I can't get that or the countdown (-c, --count) option to work, though, but might just be me.

Why no xinerama and multiple xorg.confs?

Thanks I had found that out right after my post.

I like having seperate sessions, so I can have seperate backgrounds, etc. I did not really like the wallpaper stretching since I have different resolutions on the monitors. One is 1680x1050 and the other is only 1024x768. Sorry not 2 Xorgs but it is called "Seperate X screen" It was a little tricky in openbox I had to add:
(sleep 2 && DISPLAY=:0.1 openbox) &
to my Openbox autostart.
Thanks

You can use xrandr (only one X screen) and nitrogen for setting the wallpaper on each monitor. It works perfectly and you will be able to move any window to the monitor you want.
