I have just installed Ubuntu and I'm trying to set up a correct configuration for having multiple monitors.
I want the two monitors to have their own workspaces, yet the ability to drag a window from one monitor to the next. I also want a separate panel (taskbar) for each monitor.
I have played around with nvidia-settings
and tried the following different configs:
- Having both monitors `Use separate X screen"
A panel for each monitor but I couldn't drag windows from one monitor to the next - Using TwinView
The ability to drag windows from one monitor to the next but only a single panel for the primary display
Now I want to have the above configurations combined. Basically, as I stated beforehand, having a separate panel for each monitor and also the ability to drag windows across monitors.
Can anyone provide me with suggestions please?
The way I did it was to keep on adding panels until it added it to the other monitor. Then I removed the extraneous panels. – Nitrodist – 2010-05-12T21:53:54.873
If you're on ubuntu-classic, you may need to use Super+Alt+RClick to access the "Add to Panel..." menu. ("Super" being the windows key in most cases) – aidan – 2012-06-07T13:57:53.863
