You would have to try a later version, 3.6 did not support xinerama, as
it is quite old, the support came much later.

3.6 in Ubuntu 8.04. I tried it out on a single monitor on arch over
the weekend and liked it and thought it would be great to use at work.

That's strange. On my dual head setup each screen is separated by the
unmovable center line like I'd expect it to. Windows don't stretch
across the whole screen like they used to on older versions of Wmii.
Only across the screen on which they appear (initially).
However, the idea of having different tags per screen has been attractive
to others on this mailing list before. Curious, what version of Wmii are
you using?

I honestly don't like the way it plays with Xinerama turned on.
Windows auto stretch across both monitors and won't stick to one
monitor. Also the idea of having to windows with their individual
tagging is appealing. I initially got the idea from here:

But that was 2 years ago I guess.

Not quite sure what i'm doing wrong here. I want 2 separate instances
of wmii running on my dual monitor setup. I'm not concerned about
dragging windows from screen to screen, but I am concerned with each x
server being able to accept my mouse and keyboard commands.
It seems no matter what I do, my Secondary screen on the right of me
can interact fully with my mouse and keyboard, but the primary screen
in front of me can only interact with the mouse. It will not accept
any keyboard commands. And while the mouse can be dragged over to that
screen, it will not click on 'nil'. Mod+P doesn't work on the primary
screen to bring up dmenu, I can't open a terminal there, nothing.
wmii supports Xinerama. Is there some reason you can't use it instead? There
used to be some measures in place to ensure that two instances would
cooperate, but since that setup doesn't get much use any more, they may have
faded away a bit.
