I have been using dwm with an external monitor for a while, just as is...using only the external monitor losing the screen resolution on my laptop screen.
These days im rather busy and can take much care about dwm, but I hope to have some time to test all the xinerama changes in dwm 4.8. I have some ideas really closer to the ones exposed by you and yiyus, but I don't want to think on it until i have something to test and check how i feel with it. btw, maybe i'll have to check the repository instead of waiting for the release :) On Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:21:18 +0100 "y i y u s" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My proposal about xinerama would be: > you have the same set of tags in each monitor, but you can have > selected a tag only in one monitor.
