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

Hi, I tried different multihead approaches in between 4.9 and 5.1 with dwm. I remember the following: - have a dwm environment on each Xinerama screen (like multiple dwm's in classic multihead setups) as suggested by Mate - the problem was, it didn't felt right because it added another

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

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
