Here's my XRandR and multi-screen patch, its pretty much not what you've asked for here, but I'll throw it out as a starting point. I haven't had a chance to test it much, so don't yell at me if your screen explodes... one tag for all screens. status bar is only shown on screen 0 (although this

It should probably be abstracted further, to just a list of monitor positions in the buffer. I'm working on an xrandr patch to do just this (I took all the recent messages about xrandr as a challenge =) Anselm: re: method #3, the screen-tagging approach, I think it would be simple to use part of

What about moving XineramaScreenInfo *info = NULL; out of updategeom()? if you make info a global variable it is easy for people to have custom tile algorithms which make use of it. If you also define custom functions to view tags, change layouts, etc you will be able to have plenty of different xi

I understand what you are trying to say and so I think the best solution would be a patch which does that thing ;) Maybe I'll write one based on dwm-gtx (the only problem is that I suck at c and that I have to do too much school work :( ) On Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 09:52:45AM +, Anselm R Garbe w

The problem with xinerama is that no general implementation is possible. You can have a tile algorithm for both screens or two different ones, you can share tags or they can be different, it could be possible for the user to move windows between screens or not, etc. And what do you do with the stat
