Big Desktop Question

[jamey0824]

I am using FGLRX big desktop, Is there any way I can launch mythtv directly to my other monitor. Before when I was using Multi-desktop i could use export DISPLAY=0.1, with big desktop there is no 0.1. I am using ubuntu 10.10.

most X applications support the -geometry parameter, try

xmessage -geometry 300x200+340+50 hello

format is [width]x[height]+[left offset]+[top offset]

mplayer directly supports the -xineramascreen option, maybe mythtv has something similar.

last but not least, you could add a window-specific rule for your window manager.
