Can't use -fullscreen with two screens - XWin fatal server error: InitOutput - Couldn't add screen 1

[Alexander Pokluda <apokluda at gmail dot com>]

Hi,

When I give the -fullscreen argument to XWin using two screens, a
window pops up with the error

InitOutput - Couldn't add screen 1

and

Aborted (core dumped)

is printed in the bash shell.

The following command lines work perfectly:

XWin -fullscreen -screen 0 @2 -query 10.3.22.73
XWin +xinerama -screen 0 @2 -screen 1 @1 -query 10.3.22.73

but the command line

XWin +xinerama -fullscreen -screen 0 @2 -screen 1 @1 -query 10.3.22.73

produces the errors described above. I've attached the log and core
dump files that were produced when running this command. Placing the
-fullscreen argument at different locations in the command line, or
using -fullscreen once for each -screen argument, seems to have
slightly different effects (I got a segmentation fault once for
instance), but the result is more or less the same. Can anyone tell me
if it is possible to use two screens and have them both fullscreen?

Thanks in advance for your help!
