Hi,
I run cygwin on my Windows XP laptop and I now have a second monitor
that I use to extend my desktop. Although I can use both monitors
without any problem with Windows, when I run cygwin I noticed the
following: when I open a new xterm, this will always be open on my
laptop's monitor and when I move it to the other monitor I can type
everything without any problem on the login window, but if I launch for
example xemacs, I can write on the xemacs window only if I put it on the
laptop's monitor: when I move it to the extenal monitor I can see it,
but I cannot type on it or for instance close it. I have noticed the
same also when I launch other applications (ROOT, for example). Is this
because cygwin only recognizes my laptop's monitor as the Windows
terminal ? If so, is there a way to tell cygwin to 'extend' the Windows
terminal to the external monitor, when this is present ?
Thanks for any help !
