[ snip excellent, step by step directions. ] Thank you for this idea. It works for window placement, but still allows windows and the mouse to move into the dead zone. > As for the official release, some xRandR enhancements are planned for > 1.7/3.0, but I doubt it will include Xinerama dead zone problem, and > not for 1.6 which will be released this december. (For those who > don't know it: read Omen's previous post and wikipedia article on > Xinerama.) It's because core members don't have multi heads. (So > don't feel like developing one. ;) All it takes is two montiors/LCDs and run them with different resolutions, or rotate one 90 degrees.
