Linux: multiple screen issues

OpenGL Development JOGL Development
#1

Hello,
I have a 3 monitor setup and am running the linux version of jogl.
I get the following error when I run my program in the second and third screen but not the first one:


net.java.games.jogl.GLException: Error making context current
        at net.java.games.jogl.impl.x11.X11GLContext.makeCurrent(X11GLContext.java:153)
        at net.java.games.jogl.impl.x11.X11OnscreenGLContext.makeCurrent(X11OnscreenGLContext.java:111)
        at net.java.games.jogl.impl.GLContext.invokeGL(GLContext.java:199)

        at net.java.games.jogl.Animator$1.run(Animator.java:104)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:536)

Any ideas?

Oh yea, I can run native GL programs in the other screens just fine.

I have a 2 monitor setup with linux and haven’t had any problems runing two JOGL programs, one on each monitor at the same time. I am dual heading a Nvidia Geforce 4Ti. I am not using Xinerama since my two monitors are at different resolutions, and when I tried it, Xinerama didn’t handle that stituation very well.
