I have a dual-screen setup, and I would like to configure it so that when I maximize a program, it only maximize on one screen instead of both.

I have ubuntu 9.04 aka Jaunty Jackalope, amd64 architecture if it matters, and a ATI Mobility Radeon 3650.

edit: I forgot to mention that my window manager is gnome.

  • what is your desktop environment/window manager?

  • the answer will finally result in 'setup your xserver to use xinerama / twinview / bigdesktop', but lets wait what he says about his wm

  • twinview is nvidia-specific, but there are other ways of accomplishing the same thing. Oct 6, 2009 at 15:22
  • @elhoim - thats why i said: xinerama / twinview / bigdesktop. in that order. twinview and bigdesktop are just variants of xinerama.

i would go the route the superuser 51233 took; he had a 'different' problem but the reson was the same: how to setup xinerama. once your xinerama is running, your windowmanager should do "the right thing"(tm) when it comes to maximizing a window.

if not: change to fluxbox (i am a bit biased here :)).

This tutorial helped me:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo#ATI

It even gives a xorg.conf that works as is for me.
