[OpenIndiana-discuss] /hipster: MATE + NVIDIA + 2 monitors :: full screen problem

[Predrag Zečević - Technical Support Analyst]

Hi all,

I have strange problem on my /hipster installation (since I have moved
to Mate from Gnome).

There were no changes on hardware in mean time:

pci bus 0x0001 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x10de device 0x0605
  NVIDIA Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT]

In Gnome, I was able to use Xinerama and to have separate workspaces on 
2 screens.. E.G. If I wanted to watch video on full screen, only that 
monitor was used.

Now (with Mate) Xinerama is not working anymore (moreover, when it is 
on, X server Xrandr extension is switched off).
When try to use full screen, picture/video is centered between 2 
monitors, and since those have different capabilities, it looks ugly and 
is basically useless...

I would like to have 2 separate displays again, but I am not sure from 
where to start.

Does anyone has idea?

Regards.

P.S: I have tried all possible combination which nvidia-settings tool 
has offered.
