Full Discussion: CDE and dual monitors
Operating Systems AIX CDE and dual monitors Post 302474735 by bakunin on Thursday 25th of November 2010 08:37:38 AM

Sorry to have to say that, but: that depends.

First, could you please explain what your system setup is? As far as i have got it you are using Exceed(?) on a PC(?) and want to connect to a remotely attached(?) AIX system. Is that correct?

If so: Exceed is an X-Server. Your only problem is the X-Server configuration, CDE will just use whatever it is offered to use.

An X-Server has one or several "displays" to manage. With Exceed a "display" doesn't necessarily have to be a physical monitor, but could also be a virtual display spanning 2 physical monitors. Start with the "Xconfig" utility, part "screen definition". You should see 2 entries ("screen0" and "screen1") there. You can either check "use all monitors" or "use monitor(s) as screens" and enter the number of the screen you want to use.

Under "Monitor Info" enter the correct resolution of a single monitor and your display should work correctly on one or both monitors, depending on what you entered.

I hope this helps.

dbus-monitor

dbus-monitor(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   dbus-monitor(1)

NAME

       dbus-monitor - debug probe to print message bus messages

SYNOPSIS

       dbus-monitor [--system | --session] [--profile | --monitor] [watch expressions]

DESCRIPTION

       The  dbus-monitor command is used to monitor messages going through a D-Bus message bus.  See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for
       more information about the big picture.

       There are two well-known message buses: the systemwide message bus (installed on many systems as the "messagebus"  service)  and  the  per-
       user-login-session  message  bus (started each time a user logs in).  The --system and --session options direct dbus-monitor to monitor the
       system or session buses respectively.  If neither is specified, dbus-monitor monitors the session bus.

       dbus-monitor has two different output modes, the 'classic'-style monitoring mode and profiling mode. The profiling format is a compact for-
       mat  with a single line per message and microsecond-resolution timing information. The --profile and --monitor options select the profiling
       and monitoring output format respectively. If neither is specified, dbus-monitor uses the monitoring output format.

       In order to get dbus-monitor to see the messages you are interested in, you should specify a set of watch expressions as you  would  expect
       to be passed to the dbus_bus_add_watch function.

       The message bus configuration may keep dbus-monitor from seeing all messages, especially if you run the monitor as a non-root user.

OPTIONS

       --system
	      Monitor the system message bus.

       --session
	      Monitor the session message bus.	(This is the default.)

       --profile
	      Use the profiling output format.

       --monitor
	      Use the monitoring output format.  (This is the default.)

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example of using dbus-monitor to watch for the gnome typing monitor to say things

	 dbus-monitor "type='signal',sender='org.gnome.TypingMonitor',interface='org.gnome.TypingMonitor'"

AUTHOR

       dbus-monitor was written by Philip Blundell.  The profiling output mode was added by Olli Salli.

BUGS

       Please send bug reports to the D-Bus mailing list or bug tracker, see http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/
