I just received my second 23" monitor and hooked it up up to my NVidia 8800GT graphics card.
Nvidia settings window gives me two options basically: Twinview or separate X screens: - Twinview basically makes both screens virtually into one big screen, which makes both screens be -one- workspace combined. - Separate X screens does allow me to separate workspaces, but does not allow me to switch to a workspace from the other X screen.
I want to be able to access my 4 work spaces regardless of which monitor they are on so I can quickly switch between workspace set-ups. I may just want Pidgin to be on the left monitor and Vim on the right. Or just the other way around.
Is this even possible? If so, can you point me into the right direction (documentation / guides)?
Very much appreciated.

I think this "problem" of yours is exatcly what I'm looking for. Could you read my question and see if what happened to you is applicable to my scenario? Thanks!! http://superuser.com/questions/148842/good-support-to-multiple-desktops-and-multiple-monitors-in-linux-ubuntu-or-debia
– Somebody still uses you MS-DOS – 2010-07-08T16:03:46.123don't think it's possible; reason being your two monitors might use differing resolutions and the Xserver provides the same base resolution to each workspace. that's why Twinview works by extending the "base resolution" across both screens. – quack quixote – 2009-11-24T20:23:54.107
would it maybe be possible with another WM? Surely I'm not the first one that wants this kind of setup – None – 2009-11-24T20:42:44.850
