Its me again.
Ive been trying to figure how to get a (single) Wine application to be able to display dialogs on each of 3 monitors in a non xinerama setup (DISPLAY :0.0, :0.1, and :0.2).
I am well aware that xinerama mode would allow this quite easily, but xinerama is not an option, partly since CDE on Solaris will not work in xinerama mode, and a little thing called Software Requirements Specification.
Pardon me, but what is the problem with xinerama in CDE on solaris? I have been running that on a couple of sunrays at work for at least a year with no problems. The sunray servers are running solaris 9.
I am also aware this isnt specifically a wine issue, but in researching what could be done about over the past week, I found several references to gdi_display, x11drv_thread_data, and various other constructs and class members in Wine that describe which display to use. This leads me to believe there is some method to allow Wine to enable the desired
functionality.
Whether the method to support this functionality is built in or needs to be coded, I have not yet determined, since nearly every file in dlls/x11drv directory uses these members and constructs.
If someone has any insight on how to implement this or where I should focus my efforts, it would be very helpful.
TIA Rob Done
