multiple X displays

Hi everyone,

we just upgrade from centos7 to stream with xfce4.16 and unfortunately we are unable to create multiple X displays anymore.  Last time when we are using centos7 with xfce4.12  it was working

Using centos stream, rhel8  with xfce4.16 + nvidia-settings,   creating mutiple X displays doesnt work anymore

example:

we want to automatically load  2 xfce on both DISPLAY :0.0 and :0.1 and last time it works but now,  only 0.0  has xfce and 0.1 is blank and unable to do right click or access any menus

is this no longer supported with xfce4.16 ?

Re: multiple X displays

hi

single user.  single  GPU with 2 monitors (DVI and HDMI).     last rhel7/centos7  this is very easy to do by setting screen0 and screen1 on nvidia-settings

now,  on stream,rhel8   it doesnt work anymore.    either mirror or extend mode only works and you cant right click if you force it with screen1 to have  display :0 and :0.1
