I have two displays, they're arranged as:
+----------+
| |
+--------+ B |
| A | |
+--------+----------+
With an application, say Adobe Reader, I can move the window to display A, or display B, or half by half. I can maximize it, too, on whatever display I like.
However, when I switch it to full-screen mode. it always occupies the display A, I can't move it to display B, though.
Is it possible to make it on display B? I'm not going to re-arrange the monitors to make display A at the right side.
I'm using Ubuntu Maverick, with the Compiz window manager.
Generally applications default to the 'main monitor' for full screen. With most there isn't a way around this. – Unfundednut – 2011-03-13T06:08:24.797
1I'm gonna make the bold assumption that your problem lies with wine-based applications (e.g. Adobe Reader).
One solution is to create a window for wine that covers the exact resolution of display B.
First run winecfg, next select 'Graphics' tab, following which, tick ‘emulate a virtual desktop’ and enter the resolution of Display B.
Now you can move this window to cover Display B and fullscreen the operation within the window. The only small issue is a small buffer region made by the border of the window. – Reuben L. – 2011-03-15T01:26:13.573
Oh, my god, it's a Wine application. You are right, it's all about wine. – Xiè Jìléi – 2011-03-15T08:07:31.710
