Multi screens and menu position

Post by ComputingFroggy »

Hi,

I have been happily using Cinnamon for a couple of months, now.

Yesterday, I have added an extra secondary screen to my computer running Cinnamon: I have now a dual monitor setup.
However the menu panel is positioned only on my secondary monitor.
I haven't found the way to configure the way the menu panel is displayed with multiple monitors: I would like to move the menu panel to my primary monitor or to display the menu panel on both monitors.

Any ideas, anyone ?


Cheers,
L@u

Currently you can only display the Cinnamon panels on a single monitor. This hopefully will change in the next version of Cinnamon. The panels are on your primary monitor. If you go to Cinnamon Settings->Display you can set which monitor is considered the primary and arrange them as you wish.
When I give opinions, they are my own. Not necessarily those of any other Linux Mint developer or the Linux Mint project as a whole.

Yes, exactly what I needed : setting the correct monitor as primary using the Settings => Display !

Thanks a lot JosephM ! !

PS: sorry for the double post, I did not realise that the posts were regulated ... I thought the first one did not work and I reposted ! :-(
I've deleted the double, now.

I'm with the same problem with 2 monitors

if I activate both, the system became toooo sloooow !!

tho only way to use it is mirroring them with the command:

!#/bin/sh
xrandr --output VGA1 --same-as LVDS1
