XWin on Larger Secondary Monitor?


Hello,

I'm running a weird configuration and would like to see if anyone has this
working.

I have a laptop with a secondary monitor.  The primary (laptop screen) is
1400 x 1050.  The secondary monitor is a larger 1600 x 1200.

I'd like to launch xwin on the secondary monitor such that the root window
fills the screen.  Can anyone tell me how to do this?  The closest that I
could get was to run in -multimonitor mode - but that filled both of my
screens with a giant root window.

Currently I'm settling with running XWin on the primary monitor and moving
it to the secondary.  So it fills *most* of the screen...


Thanks!

-Sean
