[ This is mostly a repost of a message I sent in July 2008. I am hoping 1.6 will change the answer. ]
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. I have a 1280x1024 LCD (rotated 90 degrees to the right) hooked up to the VGA port. I 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 and the cursor 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. The OS is Debian/unstable fully up to date: ii sawfish 1:1.6.0~091027-1nanoa ii xserver-xorg 1:7.4+4 the X.Org ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.6.5-1 Xorg X ii xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.1-1 X.Org X Sawfish package is from http://www.nanolx.org/apt/ but recompiled for 64 bit. Thanks, Omen -- Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed.
