xwininfo: Window id: 0x28009c6 (has no name)
Absolute upper-left X: 1680
Absolute upper-left Y: 1
Relative upper-left X: 1680
Relative upper-left Y: 1
Width: 1282
Height: 1054
Depth: 0
Visual: 0x21
Visual Class: TrueColor
Border width: 0
Class: InputOnly
Colormap: 0x0 (not installed)
Bit Gravity State: ForgetGravity
Window Gravity State: NorthWestGravity
Backing Store State: NotUseful
Save Under State: no
Map State: IsViewable
Override Redirect State: yes
Corners: +1680+1 --2+1 --2--5 +1680--5
-geometry 1282x1054--2+1
And after a little trial and error I was able to start fullscreen on my
second display with the following:
mythfrontend -geometry 1280x1024+1680+1
There seem to be some weird horizontal effects when there's a lot of motion
on the display, but I'm ok with it for now. Maybe after .24 comes out I'll
take a closer look. Thanks for the help!
