Hello Everyone, I am new to qtile, using it on my laptop for just 2 months. My workstation is running AwesomeWM version 3.4 for about 2 years, and I am considering switch to qtile on the workstation. This workstation has a setup with 2 ATI graph cards and 4 monitors. I have give a try to Xinerama and/or Xrandr in the last 2 years for several times, and found that I can not work with Xinerama or Xrandr for many technical reasons. Therefore I used a multiple X screen setup, which has a limitation on moving windows between screens. With a tiling WM, I found this acceptable (comparing to using only 2 monitors with Xrandr).
The main motivation to switching from AwesomeWM to Qtile is that, AwesomeWM 3.5 removed the support for multiple X screens, and the upstream refused to fix that ( https://awesome.naquadah.org/bugs/index.php?do=details&task_id=1069). And I can not manage to hack the source code of AwesomeWM, while qtile's python code is much more understandable for me. I looked into libqtile's source code, and found that xcbq.py already has the true Screen support, while manager.py only manage the default screen. Therefore I want to ask, is it possible (or easy) to hack qtile to manage all the screens (not the PseudoScreen by Xinerama or Xrandr) and handle the input events correctly? There may be multiple root windows or other details I don't know. Thank you very much. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jiachen Yang 楊嘉晨 Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, Osaka University Tel: 080-3853-2770 MSN: [email protected] GMail: [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qtile-dev" group.
