That creates one huge desktop spanning both screens... but, why > would you want that? *g* Honestly, better get used to it.. won't help. e uses xinerama for the info. xrandr is only used for resolution and rotation changing in e. there is no support for querying multiple screens via xrandr in efl. you can add cmd-line options to fool e into ignoring xinerama and making it think you just have 1 big screen - this was there only for testing but has stayed. i think its an utterly silly idea to just through the information of 2 screens away so i don't intend to hand-hold anyone with how to do this :) > sylvester > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft > Defy all challenges.
