http://askubuntu.com – When using multiple displays in Ubuntu, If I try to maximize some applications while in the secondary display, the application will move to the primary display and then maximize. I just checked whether only the apps executed in the secondary display can be maximized in it. But its not true. First when I opened Gedit in the primary display, I took it to the other display and maximized. It went back to the primary display. Then I again opened a new Gedit and tried to do the same thing. Now it maximized in the secondary display. Why is this happening? How to fix it? PS : Apps like Chrome are al (HowTos)

I have a dual monitor setup. Lately it's been giving me grief; booting with the wrong monitor as primary, "out of range" problems on the primary, etc.

How can I make it so touch just controls the cursor on the primary display?

I have a dual monitor setup. Lately it's been giving me grief. Today I noticed that when I "ctrl-alt-F1" to get a terminal, the terminal is mirrored display mode. Preferable would be to only see it on the primary display, of course.

Within the "System Settings | Displays" I've actually got the secondary display disabled.

Any idea how to fix this?

I have a dual-monitor display with a Nvidia GEforce 9400 video card. The login screen has a normal login on the primary display but the second display contains fragments from the previous session. I would like to clear the secondary display so that it does not display information from the previous session. This is a privacy and security issue. Any advice will be appreciated.

I have developed one simple application using qt creator (qt 4.8), which throws two different UIs.

What I need is my one UI should run on primary screen and one on secondary screen (i.e. 0.0 and 0.1).

I have a laptop with a docking station that has a large monitor connected to it. When the laptop is docked, I use the monitor as my primary display, and the laptop screen as a secondary display.

I have a dual display setup and would like to be able to set which display a piece of software starts on. Most software seems to return to the last display but Stellarium always starts in the primary display. Does Linux have a way of forcing the startup display or is it something the individual program has to manage?

Thanks.
