Re: Spanning desktop across multiple X servers...


Thank you, thank you, thank you! Grabbed the src from DEC, built it in a jiffy, and voila! It is EXACTLY what I was looking for. FYI - I did some additional poking around and found this, which describes making x2x more secure:

Tim,

It was designed by DEC (Digital) back in '97 and can still be found at:

Dunno if it still works, but it's worth a try ;-).

Cheers,
Nicholas
