I am testing out 12.04 and am using Xinerama = 1 in xorg.conf.

When I do this, everything seems to work, except that some applications end up with strange looking buttons.

Please see this image: enter image description here Click here for an enlargement of the image.

As soon as I change the Xinerama to 0, I lose my quad screen, but all applications look normal again.

Why does this happen and is it possible to fix this?

I'm using gnome classic on Ubuntu 12.04 because I couldn't get Unity2D or Unity3D to work over 4 screens.

  • You need to include some more details. ATI or Nvidia(or other). Model, etc. It's a good question, and I hope it gets a solid answer. We need details. May 1, 2012 at 21:30
  • Thank you. Since you noted Unity3d, my workaround doesn't work for you. It can be accomplished with Xinerama if don't need compositing/effects, but you have to want to give up 3d. I hope you get a proper answer. May 1, 2012 at 21:47
  • To be honest, I don't mind giving up Unity3D and compositing/effects etc in order to get all 4 monitors working! May 1, 2012 at 21:54
  • What does not work? Clarify this. Are the screens showed in the Nvidia settings tool?

It's a workaround for themes not applying in Cinammon with Xubuntu, but you could try: setting a GTK3 theme as default in XFCE configs, and, login again in Cinnamon from here.

Different problem, but it might work to get the theme to apply.

I don't know what DE you're using, but it's definitely not Unity.
