Hi, I have a desktop and a laptop at home. Both have nice screens. I would like control both from my desktop's keyboard and mouse.
I'm aware of x2x (http://www.the-labs.com/X11/#x2x) which allows me to send keyboard and mouse events to another display, but what I'd really like is to have both displays controlled by a single instance of Ion running on my desktop. It's a bit like Xinerama but the second screen is actually another display. Advantages over x2x: - can switch between displays using keyboard (x2x requires mouse) - only one instance of window manager to use (e.g. you only have to press quit once!) - the window manager can tell clients which display to appear on (by setting DISPLAY when calling exec) rather than user having to do it by hand (launch xterm, set DISPLAY manually, launch app) - probably others that I haven't realised Is this a stupid idea? Have I missed something about X that makes this impossible? Tuomo, do you think it's feasible for Ion3 by, for example, having a WDisplay object as a parent of WRootWins, and then allowig multiple WDisplays to exist? I don't know of any window managers that manage multiple displays ;-) -- Tom
