Rodrigo Sounds like an identical setup with OS and graphic driver. We should let each other kinow of any caveats.

But the monitors are driven off the same Nvidia card. The Nvidia driver evidently fools X11 into seeing them as a single head. This may(?) be a way around Sawfish`s design flaw. 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. Is it as bad as it sounds? Otherwise it seems to work. Is it '--multihead' the right mechanism to get multiheaded functionality? thanks, Rodrigo Warning: sawfish's --multihead option is known to have fundamental design flaws, which may lead to sawfish behaving strangely, or the files in your ~/.sawfish directory being corrupted. Use this option at your own risk! rep: using deprecated feature - &optional in lambda list -- Sawfish ML -- Sawfish ML
