Hi, Sorry for late answer, been quite busy. You're right that multiple display are not the common case, although there's already been mention on the list of people using it. There are also the case where people do not use multi-display but may later, for example on laptops: at first you may not think about it because you're using the built-in screen but some time later you may occasionally use a video projector, or TV or... The idea in current case was that if the lib is present, then it is probable that user may want to use it but just forgot to install dev packages, thus we cannot decide what to do so we try to be clear to user about it so he can choose either to install them or tell us he does not want it (--disable-xinerama... when it works ;-) ) -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
