Re: [dwm] Xinerama and multihead support
hg tip doesn't work well at all on Xinerama for me. I have ~20 applications. By default they all end up on a single monitor (expected), but they aren't tiled properly. No window was placed in the master area and the stacking region was not full (there was a large gap). The status bar seems wrong - on monitor 1 (which has no applications), tag 1 is shown as 'full' (solid square). Is it supposed to work better than this? dme.
Re: [dwm] Xinerama and multihead support
Nicolas, i haven't seen this use case yet, but it's a good point. I have hg tip running now and no crashes yet. I'm glad that i can test arg's interpretation of this issue. Well, now i'm sure david's version is beneficial, because it allows you to control a lot only by tagging. It's natural and a lot simpler. You won't need: 1. no new command (to move windows to another monitor). 2. no new memory in your brain (selecting a tag will bring everything you associate with it to your view). Perhaps it's only my limited memory;). I definitely don't easily remember the tag AND monitor of the apps I'm trying to get on view. But now it is like having 9 additional tags, all named in a confusing way. Now finally, my proposal: Normally each monitor should show everything associated with the selected tag. If there are multiple selected tags, dwm should regard these as one monitor, so that we can use the whole capabilities of Xinerama. Here you are, Nicolas. hiro
[dwm] Xinerama and multihead support
Hi there, more and more I get straight to a 4.8 release. The hg tip is still experimental, but Xinerama works for me already: http://www.suckless.org/shots/dwm-xinerama.png Kind regards, -- Anselm R. Garbe http://www.suckless.org/ GPG key: 0D73F361

BTW: I like the new Layout for the website! Looks fresh, more like dwm. Except for the dwm logo, which has still the old look. The checkout of the new diri is possible. At least, i were able to do this :) !!!OFF TOPIC!!! But, it looks like you develop DWM and WMII at the same time. Do you use both, depending on what you're developing now? !!!END OFF TOPIC!!! I personally don't need Xinerama and it looks like, i won't need it so fast. But it's cool, that i can safely make a Xinerama setup, without some dwm chaos. Regards, Fabio Scotoni

I just installed the mercurial version on my desktop, and it works pretty well. The display has two 20 monitors in 1400x1050 managed by NVidia's TwinView. A small problem found: dwm crashed with an X error (request code=54, error code=4, BadPixmap with X_FreePixmap) when I do this: - Open Firefox with dmenu (last mercurial version) in the left screen. - Open an Xterm with alt+enter. - Run xrandr in the term. - Exit the term with 'exit'. Hope it will help. Regards, -- Nicolas Martyanoff http://codemore.org [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Kind regards, As you wish :) It was nothing but a simple info, since without that, all people who use multihead for some large application won't be able to use dwm. Let's wait 4.8 !
