Multiple Monitors

I am using a Cell along with another (main) monitor. The Graphics window does not open on the Cell, but on the main display. How do I get the graphics on the Cell?

The problem stems from Gnome display manager that limits the locations of application windows, with some rather strange logic.

The usual solution is to enable the full-screen mode, and place the OpenGL viewport to the desired location:

  • open file ~/.MultiTouch/screen.xml
  • set fullscreen field to 1
  • edit the window->area->location to match the Cell graphics location
