FVWM: full-screen on secondary screen
Hi, When I connect a projector I would like full-screen mode in for example Libreoffice and Shotwell to go to the projector not to the laptop display. (How) can I do that ? I have tried to move the application to the projector screen before maximizing, but the image ends up on the primary screen. Best regards Olav Kvittem

It is at a fixed area of the screen regardless of virtual window. The image blends with the foreground. My first guess is it is probably nothing to do with FVWM at all. But your description is cryptic and doesn't give me much to go on. Can you be more specific? The image did not show up on xwd. Nor did I find any window with the actual coordinates with xlsclients| xwininfo. It shows up in the background if I drag a window like 'xterm -bg white' past the area but now with xterm -bg blue. It shows on the background with 'xsetroot -bg any-color', wheras 'display -window 0 picture.png' hides the image. I am not really suspecting fvwm, but here is some expertise on X and windowmanmagers.. We're not a generic X11 mailing list. Does this problem exist in other window managers? yes also in Metacity - so thank you for your kind didactic help :-) A colleage had seen similar problems connected to DRI, so I am now installing the newest Nividia X driver.. best regards Olav Kvittem -- Thomas Adam
Re: FVWM: search windowlist

In my dreams I would hit a key and type a few characters and I will see a short windowlist from which I can choose.. Are there any modules around that can do whole or part of that ? I use the following shell script: Great that helps a lot :-) Now I only need to find the window to enter the command in ;-) If there were function to get input from the screen you could imagine : Key Tab A CMS Exec fvwm_focus `fvwmGetInput` So then I can find the most needed ones on a function key Key F10 A SC Exec fvwm_focus Opera Key F11 A SC Exec fvwm_focus Thunderbird Key F12 A SC Exec fvwm_focus Twinkle Cheers Olav Now ~/bin/fvwm_focus: #!/bin/bash # finds a window title(s) to focus.

Key Tab A CMS Exec exec fvwm_focus I have half a zillion xterms open, and when any long running (10 seconds) job finishes, my shell does two things: beeps in a distinctive way, and renames the title of the xterm to include the time it finished. When one of half a zillion jobs I am currently running finishes, I hear a certain pattern of beeps, but only Ghod knows which xterm on which page on which desktop it came from. So I look at the current time, and run focus_fvwm 23:03 to find any xterms that finished in the last minute. Silly eh? I could just run less xterms! I also output the pts number to the xterm windows title, and have been known to search for a guilty window that was holding on and not letting a stale mountpoint unmount -- use fuser/lsof to search for the guitly process, use ps to find out which pts it it using, then use focus_fvwm pts/67 to find the xterm.

Do you have so many that the standard window list is too long ? yes sometimes it has been higher than the screen - and however I have some potential for tidying, I am reluctant to close contexts. In my setup I hit mouse button 2 on the root background and get a list (I use it sometimes if I cannot remember on which desktop/workspace a window is). I guess this is the line in my .fvw2rc (this part inherited from a system-bundled version, I did not write this myself) Mouse 2 R A Module FvwmWinList Transient I use : Mouse 3 R A WindowList Alphabetic, CurrentDesk This one is pops up on mouse down and you can drag immediately. yes this very efficient and is one of the reasons I stick to Fvwm !

Re: FVWM: Pause button dead only in fvwm
Thomas Adam skrev: 2009/6/25 olav.kvit...@uninett.no: Hi, With the latest ubuntu 9.04, the the Pause button is dead. The X11 keysym mapping is missing when fvwm is running. With other window managers or without one, the button is working and keycode seen by xev. So this means you have another program running which has already bound an action to it -- what that might be I couldn't say, but if you have anything GNOME-related running, I would look there first as some of those apps can be pretty nasty. Either way, this is nothing to do with FVWM. You're right - it was a user error : the Key worked, but the assigned command did not work. I was confused by the fact that Fvwm do allocate the Key Pause when starting because of this config line : Key Pause A A Exec xscreensaver-command -lock and that xev then did not see the key. thanks Olav -- Thomas Adam
