Slim display manager & twinview

Hello,

Does anybody know how to get the Slim display manager to only display on one monitor instead of stretching across both? Other display managers put the login screen on one monitor and the background on the other. Slim stretches it across both by default, putting the login box right in the middle of the two screens, kind of annoying.

Using a nvidia card with twinview...

Thanks for the help,

Nate

Re: Slim display manager & twinview

Slim doesn't support twinview yet, although this feature is considered for future releases, AFAIK.  You can see the feature request and the slim devs answer here:

I use GDM on my twinview setup and slim on my laptop at the moment.
