One thing I might mention; I did some digging, and the XWin window seems to
be receiving a

WM_DISPLAYCHANGE
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdi/pantdra
w_2qzp.asp

when the display changes resolution, so I'm guessing here, but maybe a bit
of code in the function called

winTopLevelWindowProc

in

xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/winmultiwindowwindow.c

That would do something like

case WM_DISPLAYCHANGE:

	if ( IsMultiMonitorMode( hWnd ) ) {

		MoveWindow( hWnd, 0, 0, iCurrentWidth, iCurrentHeight, TRUE  );

}
	break;

Of course, I only took a quick look at the code and I'm not entirely sure
how it all hangs together yet, but something like this should do the trick.

Thanks.

Hi,

        I have just reinstalled my machine and therefore had to do a fresh
install
of Cygwin.

        -multiplemonitors now works fine on my home machine, but for some
reason,
it still only uses one display on my computer at work. I'll have a look at
the log file and post back when I get a chance.

        One thing I have noticed, that might be a nice simple feature to add
is
this -

        If I start Xwin in -rootless mode at 1024x768, it creates an
invisible root
window at screen coordinates 0,0

If I then play a DirectX game that changes the display's resolution to
800x600, when I exit the game, the XWin invisible root window is now shifted
over to the right.

My fix would be simple:

If running in rootless mode and the resolution changes, move the invisible
root window back to 0,0.


Thanks.
