I understand that things will have to be rewritten when there is an official standard. But since many progams/people uses Xinerama as it is now, would it be possible to add this feature (physical size) to the existing non official API or do you expect an official API soon? Or should I just use an external config file where the user can specifiy the sizes of the screens for the time until the official API ? I understand if you don't have the time to do this, but do you think it would be a good idea? At least this possibility should be in the official version. I have another question about Xinerama too. Is it possible to have several resolutions configured and switch with <ctrl><alt><+/-> on individual screens or all together or not at all when Xinerama is enabled? This is nothing I _want_, just curious if it is a case one should handle. /Bj�rn _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
