Hi,


I Have An ATI Radeon 32 MB DDR AGP video card and a PCI nVidia TNT2 M64 32MB
video card.  I just configured dual-monitoring for Linux (I Run Mandrake
8.0, but if you have a solution that doesn't apply to Mandrake, please say
so anyways because maybe it will work).  I use the Xinerama Extension
because I do not like the idea of having 2 seperate desktops that can't
share windows, etc.  I would like to be able to use Gnome+Enlightenment with
the Xinerama extension.  I configured Gnome to run Enlightenment as its
window manager already so I have that taken care of.  My question is:

How can I make the login window (the window that displays right when you
Start X Windows) to position itself in the middle of my primary monitor, or
my secondary monitor (either one, it doesn't matter)???

I use 2 KDS 17'' monitors at 1024x768.  I was talking to a friend, he said
that there is a way to configure the login window to be in the middle of the
primary monitor because he had done it before, but cannot remember.  So can
someone please help me out, and I DO NOT want to get rid of the Xinerama
extension.....so if that is a solution you are thinking of, that will not
work.  I Trust that someone will have a solution. THANKS
