    Hello all,

    I hope I am not asking a question that has been asked way too many times
    already (I _have_ googled but no luck).

    I have a JVC mini-note laptop which uses the SiS 630 graphics card. This
    supports dual-head operation which is fantastic (thanks to
    http://www.winischhofer.net/ for driver etc!). I use Xinerama which also
    works a treat, all on Debian stable (Woody) so X 4.1.

    I use Acrobat's Reader or XPDF to display slides for presentations or
    teaching. When in non-xinerama mode, full screen on the data projector
    works as one would expect. In Xinerama, however, acroread centres the
    image over the two displays, not what I want. XPDF places the image on
    the "left" screen, also not what I want as my left screen is the one on
    the laptop.

    Obviously, I could switch the logical placement of my screens around and
    XPDF should work. However, I would like to be able to use acroread as it
    is faster (at present). Does anybody have any suggestions on how to
    configure acroread to *not* centre in a xinerama mode?

    Thanks in advance,
    eric
