Looking at the xcalib source code, it uses the XF86VidMode extension to mess with stuff. There are no monitors specified here, so... dunno. From the code, I would have guessed that this applies to all monitors, but the X11 server seems to think otherwise. > In > the xcalib man page I find > > OPTIONS > -d, -display <host:dpy> > > -s, -screen <screen-#> > > But neither -d, nor -s works or maybe I'm just using it the wrong > way. I assume the xcalib screen is not what awesome calls a screen. [...] The -d option let's you specify which X11 server to talk to. E.g. you could use -d myothermachine:2 to say that there is a X11 server running on "myothermachine" which listens as "dpy 2". The -s option let's you specify the screen to use. In theory. This uses X11's zaphod mode. In this mode, you cannot move windows between screens. For this reason, since Xinerama, there is always just a single, big, virtual screen on the display and the individual monitors are handled otherwise. TL;DR: I have no clue about XF86VidMode, but I guess it doesn't let you do what you want. Cheers, Uli -- - Buck, when, exactly, did you lose your mind? - Three months ago.
