I have been trying to get a very simple Xinerama implementation working for wine, but am having some problems. My approach was to just query the system for the screens that make up the display and only report the resolution of the first display with the offset of 0+0. The resolution detection part of the code seems to be working as I can see looking through the traces, but every time the app comes up full screen it still stretches across both screens. I can see it enumerating the displays (there is only one) and finding the correct resolution, but don't understand why it still comes up across both screens.
I was hoping someone could explain what else I need to do attempt to get this working. I am using wine version 0.9.11 which I have applied a patch to work around the WorldOfWarcraft picking bug. The Xinerama display that I am using has a resolution of 2560 x 1024 and when I query the screens I get Screen 0: 0+0+1280x1024 and Screen 1: 1280+0+1280x1024. When I detect the screens I only put in one resolution which is the one with offset (0+0). So for my system there should be only one resolution to choose from. I base my code off the structure of XRandR so it should be for the most part correct. If anyone could help it would be appreciated.

For starters don't send html to the list. You are looking in the wrong direction here. Even if Wine could detect separate monitors and work with them properly (all the DSIPLAY0 stuff) you still would have a problem on the WM side. You see Wine does not maximizes itself - WM does. Wine does not talk to WMs except few rudimentary things. You will need to extend that so Wine could tell WM how it should be maximized.

Does this mean we would need a change in the WM 'API'? If so, could you describe the issue in the Wiki?

This was already fixed by a patch I wrote long ago but that was never merged. It was done to fix IE but bugs in our rebar control prevented it working properly. Google for my name + fullscreen patch to find it ...
