Tint

Hi guys,
I've just installed tint2, and i'm trying to get it running on a dual monitor setup, (im using nvidia drivers but not using xinerama or twinview).

It works fine on my first monitor, but when i try and start it on the second monitor, nothing appears. However i know that its started because if i click then i can change desktops etc.

Does anyone use tint on a dual monitor setup? or does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Re: Tint

I use xmonad... works great for dual monitors I hear.. its a tiling wm, no need for a panel.. have you tried xfcepanel and stuff?

Re: Tint

Ive tried awesome, but didnt like it.
I usually use xfce but i thought id try out openbox again, and im using pypanel at the minute, but was just wondering about using tint.

Re: Tint

Tint is still largely unfinished. He's gotten it to look really nice, and be quite reliable, but I think dual monitor support could be asking a little much at this point. I can't say for sure that there isn't a way to make it work, but it'd probably be a good idea to send a bug report to the new dev, so that he knows it's an issue.

Stop looking at my signature. It betrays your nature.
