I have two questions about using sawfish with dual monitors, but with one rotated. I have a 1680x1050 LCD hooked up to the DVI port of an Intel 965Q on a Dell Optiplex system.
I have a 1280x1024 LCD hooked up to the VGA port. I added 'Virtual 2704 1280' to the SubSection "Display" part of my xorg.conf and ran the following command: xrandr --output VGA --auto --rotate left --right-of TMDS-1 This pulled up the second display rotated (woohoo!) and the speed of the rotated display is even pretty fast (double woohoo!). The problem is that sawfish thinks the screen is a square of 2704x1280 pixels, and will happily place and allow windows in the dead zone in the bottom left, i.e. in the xxx's of this bad ascii art: __________________ | . 1024 | | 1680 x . 1280 | | 1050 . | | . | |___________. | xxxxxxxxxxx| | xxxxxxxxxxx|______| Is there some way to convince sawfish that the x'd out part really does not exist and it cannot use it? I would even be willing to hand edit some source and custom compile if it would fix the issue. Second question, is there a way to make the edge between the two screen (the vertial part with the dots) act as if it is the edge of a window, so when you move windows (or send windows with the 'Corner upper right' command in <http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/Corner>) they stop at the intersection of the two screens? The OS is Debian/unstable fully up to date: ii xserver-xorg 1:7.3+14 the X.Org X server ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.2-2 Xorg X server - core server ii xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.3.2-2 X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver Many thanks!
