Hm, yesterday while playing arount with xrandr (the cmd line tool) I managed to switch the shelve to the external monitor somehow. So it's possible although the simple xrandr --output HDMI1 --right-of eDP1 --auto --primary didn't suffice. 2. How can I move a window from one output to the other?

Hm, it surely didn't work for me. I'll give it... well i tried it and it worked. beats me why it doesnt for you unless you have multihead you can move windows also by just dragging them across to the other screen I also tried dragging with the mouse without luck. But note that I still haven't learned any mouse bindings, so I'll have to give it another try again. you dont need mouse bindings. click titlebar - move window over to other screen. unless you are using multihead (multiple root windows) this will work. if you are using multihead... you'll never be able to do this. windows cant move between root windows at the x11 level here. or use the pager to do it (dnd mini window from pager on one screen to the pager on the other). Ah, I didn't know I could do that. also menu move to.. select screen + desktop to send the window too (alt+right mouse on menu or clikc icon on titlebar). That's also new to me. 3. Is there some Xrandr config tool for enlightenment? The Screen setup settings don't work too well for me. Especially, I frequently have screen setup is the tool. otherwise use xrandr (it's a cmdline tool 0 not part of e - part of x11 tools). Yeah, I simply wrote me a do-what-i-mean shell script using xrandr.

If you mean multiple separate X11 screens, then no, I don't. multihead is the old term referring to multiple x11 root windows across multiple monitors as opposed to what ten became xinerama (and xrandr) which is one root window across all. you dont need mouse bindings. click titlebar - move window over to other screen. unless you are using multihead (multiple root windows) this will work. if you are using multihead... you'll never be able to do this. windows cant move between root windows at the x11 level here. Yes, got it. I'll try both dragging and the move to... window menu functions the next time I've a external monitor attached.

[e-users] E19 and multiple Xrandr outputs
Hi, I have some questions concerning E19 with multiple outputs (in Xrandr parlance), i.e., I have my laptop LCD and an external LCD attached. 1. How can I configure my shelve so that it is always displayed on the primary output? Whenever I use an external monitor, that's should be the primary one and I'd prefer if the shelve was shown there instead of the secondary output (the laptop LCD). 2. How can I move a window from one output to the other? I've tried the To Next Screen/To Previous Screen actions in the Window: Moving category of the Key Bindings but that doesn't work. I guess that's probably for real X screens which nowadays nobody uses anymore... 3. Is there some Xrandr config tool for enlightenment? The Screen setup settings don't work too well for me. Especially, I frequently have to do presentations, and then a quick mirror outputs in the best solution that's doable by the projector and my laptop LCD knob would be nice.

Thanks in advance, Tassilo arandr is pretty nice. it will allow you to setup the screens, then you can save this to an xrandr script that will put it back that way. -- Regards, Christopher Barry Random geeky fortune: The number of feet in a yard is directly proportional to the success of the barbecue. -- Slashdot TV.
