no gap between them. Use XEdit’s
Remove horizontal space and/or Remove vertical space buttons to
make sure your displays are perfectly positioned for spanning.
You must also ensure that each display has the same pixel-per-inch (or -per-mm) ratio, calculated as
horizontal resolution (pixels) divided by display width (inches or mm) and vertical resolution divided by
display height. Ideally, you should use displays that have the same physical size and resolution.
The figure below shows two displays properly sized and positioned for widget spanning:
Notes
• Widgets can extend outside the edge of a monitor, but not completely.
• The use of a mouse is not completely supported with spanned video widgets.
Warning icon appears even if widget
is one pixel over the edge

Horizontal: 800 pixels ÷ 400 mm = 2 pixels/mm
Vertical: 600 pixels ÷ 300 mm = 2 pixels/mm
Horizontal: 1366 pixels ÷ 683 mm = 2 pixels/mm
Vertical: 768 pixels ÷ 384 mm = 2 pixels/mm
