I have a machine with two video cards in it (forms one 2048x768 desktop).
I’d like to make XWin start on the second display, is there a way to do
that?
I think I once read that on Windows, when you have multiple video cards,
only the “first” one is accelerated. So the command line would have to
contain –engine 1
Proposed feature addition:
The –display switch.
Default would be –display 1 and in my case you would use it like
this: –display 2
Or possibly the DISPLAY environment variable. Ex: DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.2
