Twinview & Maxizing Not Working Corrently

[Sugi]

I am having issues maximizing windows/applications on triple monitor setup. I would like to maximize wine, folder explorer, media players, and etc to one screen, instead of across both, which it is currently doing that. Using Separate X [xinerama] + twinview, but I have also tried without xinerama + twinview. When maximizing applications and such, it will only maximizes across both of the monitors in the twinview setup, not the separate X on the left. The separate x has maximizing working to that one screen. I have tried to add xorg tweets, but that's not working, and they are currently in my xorg post below. I had maximizing to one screen working perfectly with dual monitor setup. :S And, I am currently getting an error about " Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0""

The following Xorgs show the differences, I guess if there is one between maximizing correctly to one screen.

Triple Monitor setup, maximizing across both twinview monitors, not preferred:

Dual Monitor setup, maximizing to one screen, preffered!!!:

Ok, I am again seeing only two monitors specified for a triple monitor setup, and even only one for a TwinView setup. Am I missing something or are you?

Please see this earlier thread about the same setup:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1723761

Hope it helps!

Thats how nvidia settings set it up as, even for the "working" dual monitor setup. I did try to manual add it, but without refresh rate and such, I ended up just breaking everything. I will check out your link. Hopefully I can get some peace and mind out of this. :)

Yeah, I somehow suspected that. However, that's no guaranty that it will work with custom components as well.
