Have you tried it with @1 instead of @2?
Yes. The same behavior. X starts on monitor #1.
At one point in the past I had worked out a method to do basically what
the @x command does. This was before I realized it had a built-in
method of doing exactly what I was trying to do.
What I did was specify a root window size, offset, and pass the
-nodecoration parameter to the X server. The exact commands escape me
and I currently am running Mandrake rather than Windows, but perhaps
later this morning I'll take a look at my work machine.
I do recall it involved the -screen parameter and specifying an offset...
