got a new monitor recently and have managed to put together an xorg.conf
that displays to a laptop LCD (1024x768) and the external LCD
(1680x1050). the associated xorg.conf modifications and dmesg are listed
below and do not use MergedFB or Xinerama. the problem is that when i
run my favorite WM, ion3, the external LCD only has one workspace
associated with it so i can't cycle workspaces using Alt+<number>.
cycling workspaces only works on the laptop LCD which has the usual "[
<date> <time || <load> ]" line at the bottom (unlike the external LCD).
have already tried making the exchange of Screen0 and Screen1 in the
ServerLayout section but then i get "No screens found" when starting
ion3. would be nice to cycle workspaces in both LCDs, but just doing
this in the external LCD is good enough for now. am running ion-20070203
package.
there is some stuff about using MergedFB or Xinerama i've seen with
regard to ion3 and multiple monitors, none of which pushes me towards a
definitive solution. anyone familiar with this setup is welcome to make
a suggestion on the best way to do this so i don't have to turn knobs ad
nauseum. thx to everybody who posted useful stuff about gtf, etc, that
i've already gleaned from the archives.
cheers,
jake
