Package: douf00
Version: 2.0.1-1
Hi,
first of all, great package.
However on my way to getting it to work as I like it there were a few
issues. I think one report is better than many, so I stuck all of them
together.
First of all, X configuration: To be able to get both displays next to
each other, I needed to put this subsection within the xorg.conf:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Virtual 2048 1024
EndSubSection
EndSection
(Values can be different for different people, that is what I use).
Another bit of X configuration that avoids output on the external
screen prior to startup of DouF00 is:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "VGA"
Option "Disable" "true"
EndSection
together with this line in the Device-Section:
Option "monitor-VGA" "VGA"
(nothing on DouF00 at all - but is useful to me, as the external
display should only display my slides).
Next X bit was that xrandr makes VGA the primary display, which means
xfce moves the menu bar there. Starting with xrandr1.3 one can use the
option --primary to avoid it, but what I liked even more was adding
this line:
self.ShowFullScreen(True, style=wx.FULLSCREEN_ALL)
after
super(PresentationScreen, self).__init__(None, wx.ID_ANY, appcfg.title,
style = style,
pos = position,
size = self.size)
in /usr/share/pyshared/DouF00/PresentationScreen.py (should be done in
PresentorsScreen.py as well if it's changed) - full screen, there we
go.
Preparing my pdf file for presentation takes a few seconds (slow
laptop), so beamer shows parts of my desktop at this time. I'd prefer
if preDouF00 would be run just before the first slide really starts.
(No patch on that.)
Another issue: If DouF00 aborts (e.g. ctrl+c), the postDouF00 isn't
run, so leaves a non-default screen. Would be nice if postDouF00 (or
abortDouF00 or whatever) is run in this case.
Yet another wishlist: I would like to tell which screen is which in the
configuration file, and/or get the select on the background slide (or
the empty if there is none). And to be able to tell "don't show
remaining time" - basically this would jump over the startup screen at
all.
Even though this mail isn't to short, summary is: I'm very happy with
DouF00. Thanks for that great software!
Cheers,
Andi
