Hi.

Can you run the command gcompris in a terminal window?

Put here its output, please, so that we can investigate what's happening.

Thanks for your bug report.

you can work around that by running gcompris with the -x option which switches off xrandr, if you are using a vesa drive for X its likely that this bug is a duplicate of bug 67360

Cute, it works (see output) but...
I have a 3-head machine (3 videocards and 3 monitors).

The middle monitor don't work because of: edgy broke Xorg drivers.

The left and right screen work.

Now when I start gcompris, it appears in the middle of the total screen - i.e. one half on the left screen and one half on the right screen.

I would like the possibility to move gcompris to only one screen.

Cheers !

$ gcompris -x
