oh... intel. i did it on nvidia and it worked but i never checked the max res -
i guess i was under it. a quick check shows nvidia can do max 16kx16k... so
umm... get a new gpu i guess. :) this will be a hardware limit

indeed i had no code to check this bound in the randr code. i didnt error check
this and give you a warning. i never hit the error... :)

Thanks Carsten and Christopher!

It looks like what is tripping me up is the virtual screen size that the 
Intel drive is telling randr that it can create (8192 x 8192) which 
isn't enough to have two 4k monitors and a 1080 one all in landscape. 
Hopefully that is something that they'll be able to address.

Regards,
Allan

i've happily had 3 screens work. at different resolutions (1680x150 + 3840x1440
+ 1920x1080). i just set them op to be like in a row each one "to the right" of
the other. it worked.

sometimes xrandr can be very fiddly and i've seen weird things happen on
different drivers... keep fiddling i guess. restart e (ctl+alt+end)...

I use the arandr gui app to get my triple headsetup working. Once you
have the screens set the way you like, it will write a script with the
randr commandline to put it that way. Then I call it from .bash_profile
every login to setup my screens.


If arandr does not help, I'm guessing your gpu may not be up to the
task.

[e-users] Multiple monitors - different resolutions

2017-02-11 Thread Allan Jardine 
Hi all,

Its been years since I last used Enlightenment I'm embarrassed to say (E16 had 
just been released), but am darn glad I've recently installed it - using E21 
and it is absolutely superb. Thank you to everyone involved!

I do have one question - I've got two 4k displays connected to my machine and 
they work great. But I've also got a 1080 screen kicking around and I thought 
I'd stick that on as well so I can have a full screen VM on it or similar. I 
plugged it in and it was recognised, but there are a few weird geometry things 
going on.

This is a photo of it:
https://i.imgur.com/UoMSs1f.jpg

What is happening is that on the right most monitor I can't mouse past where 
the wallpaper image ends - although oddly the mouse does on the black 
background - I just can't move it (or any windows) past that point (this shot 
shows that a bit closer: https://i.imgur.com/zGPXnXo.jpg );

On the 1080 screen on the left the mouse will go down past the bottom of the 
screen, although the background image is correctly scaled.

Does anyone have any thoughts about how this could be made to work?

Thanks!
Allan
