Greetings!
There are several xinerama related bugs.
I'll start with the one that makes windowmaker hard to use.
My setup:
- I have two monitors (one laptop's monitor and the other one external VGA
monitor)
- the external (secondary) monitor is configured in the xorg.conf to be
placed above the laptop's monitor.
- laptop's monitor is set to be primary monitor and it's placed below the
secondary monitor.
- primary (laptop's monitor) resolution: 1600x900
- secondary (external vga) monitor resolution: 1680x1050
- windowmaker has been compiled from the latest main branch
- Windowmaker has been configured with --enable-xrandr and --enable-xinerama
options
Here is the relevant configuration from xorg.conf:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Lenovo"
Option "PreferredMode" "1600_900_60.00"
Option "Position" "0 1050"
Option "Primary" "true"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor1"
VendorName "Dell"
Option "PreferredMode" "1680_1050_60.00"
#Option "Above" "Monitor0"
Option "Position" "0 0"
EndSection
Description of the issue:
- if the wmdock is placed on the primary monitor on the left side everything
seems to work fine unless I try to move the dock to the right side using
mouse pointer. In that case wmdock would disappear on the right side and
could not be used any more until windowmaker is restarted.
- if the wmdock is placed on the right side on the primary monitor it's not
visible and cannot be used.
- if the wmdock is placed on either side on the above konitor (secondary
monitor) wmdock is visible and usable.
Note that the primary monitor (the one integrated into the laptop) have a
a smaller resolution (1600x900) than the secondary (external VGA) monitor
(1680x1050).
Also, note that the placement of the wmdock is incorrectly calculated
in case you disconnect the secondary monitor and restart the X server.
Is there any chance to solve the above issues?
Kind regards
