Getting this to work is indeed trivial. In fact, G=
NOME auto-detects the
display, and extends my desktop by default. This is not what I want.

What I want is not to extend my desktop, but to have an X server that
consists of multiple (in this case two) separate screens.=20

I don't know if it's possible, at least I failed too. But: A generic solution
would be to use two Xephyr X clients/servers on top of the "real" Xorg server.


I realized that Xephyr has no "geometry" option. Have a look at this discussion.
