I have a dual-head setup running Ubuntu 13.04 with Gnome/Unity (the default desktop). What I'm trying to achieve is to display Firefox in "fullscreen" mode (e.g. hit F11 after it is launched), and have Firefox be displayed as a single window across both screens. I've dug every possible setting in Gnome and can't find out how to have fullscreen span across the whole desktop.

I have an nVidia video card with the latest driver (313.26) installed, and TwinView enabled. I tried messing with the "NoTwinViewXineramaInfo" option but to no avail.

Is what I'm trying to accomplish even possible on Gnome/Unity? If so, how must I configure the desktop to achieve it?

  • nVidia appears to have something called SurroundView that will achieve what you want. May 3, 2013 at 21:21
  • @RobertHarvey: SurroundView is actually a technology from ATI, not nVidia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATI_Hybrid_Graphics#SurroundView

  • I guess I got them backwards. There's a corresponding technology that nVidia offers, if you look for it. May 5, 2013 at 21:19
