this is xubuntu 12.04, nvidia driver 295.49. lcds configured as separated X screens. i do not really have problems with this. both screens look very independent (e.g. different backgrounds.) --multihead spawns two sawfish process and they seem to be happy out there. i have sawfish-ness on both screens. it is just that the warning is rather alarming/panicking and made me hesitate about a different mechanism in sawfish to enable multi-headed support. cheers, Rodrigo > Do you have the Nvidia driver too? > greg > ~krsnadas.org > -- > from: Rodrigo Amestica [email protected] > to: [email protected] > date: 22 August 2012 11:28 > subject: [Sawfish] multi-head warning > Hi, > I'm trying a multiheaded environment for the first time (two lcds). > When I start sawfish 1.9.0 with the --multihead option I get the > warning shown below.
