FS#1069 - awesome >= 3.5 does only recognize 1 screen with xinerama off User who did this - Uli Schlachter (psychon) ---------- Yes, some other branch. And no, it should work without starting two instances. Here is the (main part of) the mail that I sent to Abort Retry Fail and David Olsen. One of them wrote back and promised to test on monday and then vanished, the other one never replied at all. Yay... Somehow I lost interest after this and I won't be having much time to look into this any time soon anyway (plus, my laptop's power supply unit broke and thus currently I am truely unable to work on this anyway). Expected issues are a ton of deprecation warnings because I only did the most basic changes to the default config and the lua libraries to get things running. E.g. tooltips will always appear on the primary screen and lots of other things will, too (and they will generate a deprecation warning while doing so). But everything that doesn't generate a deprecation warning should work fine. Hopefully. Did I already mention, that I basically didn't test this code at all? If you don't have a heavily customized config (upgrading from 3.4 to 3.5 / newer-than-latest-git can be a pain) and I didn't mess up too badly, it would be nice to hear that you are actually using this newer awesome. Instructions for building this code (yes, I did actually test this, but that doesn't guarantee much and yes, I am assuming that you have the needed build dependencies installed): # Create a directory where we can install awesome to without root. This makes # sure that you can clean up again with rm -rf /usr/local/awesome sudo mkdir /usr/local/awesome sudo chown $USER /usr/local/awesome # Get the source code git clone git://git.naquadah.org/awesome.git cd awesome git checkout origin/zaphod-mode-support # Build and install it make install CMAKE_ARGS="-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/awesome" # Enjoy! Start awesome with the default config. /usr/local/awesome/bin/awesome If I actually fix some of your complaints and you want to update this awesome copy: cd awesome && git pull && git checkout origin/zaphod-mode-support && make install CMAKE_ARGS="-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/awesome" And to answer the "how tricky would it be?"-question that someone else asked, right now we are at three days of working on this and: $ git diff --stat master..zaphod-mode-support | tail -n 1 50 files changed, 878 insertions(+), 510 deletions(-) P.S.: Update that wasn't part of the mail and that I am just including for the bug tracker: Now it's: 55 files changed, 921 insertions(+), 582 deletions(-) ---------- More information can be found at the following URL: https://awesome.naquadah.org/bugs/index.php?do=details&task_id=1069#comment4030 You are receiving this message because you have requested it from the Flyspray bugtracking system.
