hello everybodu
i have two monter connected to my gforce 8600GT gfx card.i am using seperate X screen option in "nvida-settings" with xinerama enabled.the problem is that when i open a application say a terminal it pops up in the secondary screen when i want it to start in the primary screen . i dont want this to happen . I want two independent screen on each monter.
Before i was using fluxbox ,i had disabled xinerama optinon,this gave me two seperate desktops that were independent fo each other, but when i disable xinerama while running openbox the secondary screen goes blank whit the mouse coursor changing to a X.
please help

Why do you need xinerama enabled at all?
Just enabled the monitor in nvidia-settings as a separate X screen and start openbox
DISPLAY=:0.1
exec /usr/bin/openbox
put that in your .xinitrc

@sandman
i used the following in my .xinitrc and everything seems to work fine
DISPLAY=:0.0
exec /usr/bin/openbox &
DISPLAY=:0.1
exec /usr/bin/openbox
but i remember reading someware that one is not supposed to have two exec in .xinitrc.
