Hi, sorry for late reply, it was almost midnight here so went to sleep.
Anyway, so you have one monitor connected to DVI and one to VGA port.
And currently they mirror each other.
You want an extended monitor to have more playing field.
And you want all icons and panel on your VGA monitor and your DVI one clean.
Am I right?
How are your screens placed physically.
I mean which monitor is on your left and which is on right? (it's easier if VGA one is on left)
Or is one placed on top of another? (some have that kind of setup too)(it's easier if VGA one is at bottom)
Let's say you have VGA connected monitor on your left and DVI one on your right.
Then do run following in terminal.
Code: Select all
xrandr --output VGA-1 --left-of DVI-I-1
But if your DVI is on your left, then running
Code: Select all
xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --left-of VGA-1
Will give you extended monitor too, but all icons and bottom panel will be on your DVI.
As they are setup to be on left by defaults.
You have to move Icons manually one time.
And edit setting for bottom panel and drive Icons to place them on right side.
Anyway if the command works, you have to make a script in /root/Startup with any name.
Copy the command that works for you in that script and save. so that this setup is kept always.
