![]() And let it up to the community to create some initial configuration script that pieces that config file together automatically for all those WM's out there.Įdited Decemby xrandr output looks "fine" as far as I can tell (see below), but again Ubuntu "sees" this as 3 screens when i go into my display configuration settings, rather than a single huge screen. Later on XP could read from a configuration file what WM hints to send out to do that automatically. Here is another discussion related to this mess: Īs a start I'd wish XP would just open a single window as it already does and then simply place the different outside views (one for each display reported by randr) at the coordinates in that single window as xrandr reports to correspond to physical separate monitors.Īnd let it, for now, up to the users to get their WM to un-decorate it and make it fill the full root window. Although these seem to work for most modern WM's pretty well. And yes, except for 'fullscreen' there are few WM hints that uniformly work across all WM. That is a single logical screen presented to the aplication and how it corresponds to the physical monitors., which is what the app would need to know to place the individual windows it sounds to me your problem is not figuring out how many monitor there are, but trying to get the particular WM to place the newly opened window(s) where you want it. Here is an example of what it should look like on pretty much any contemporary multi-monitor setup with a single graphics card: Its not adding anything the X-server can not already do. randr just reports what is available and it can be used reconfigure things, but only if already supported by the server. or at least Dual Boot to that Linux flavor when they are going to run X-Plane. Some people may even pick their flavor of Linux based on what works best with X-Plane. just as the community does for other support such as support for Printers and hardware. The Linux community will then have something to go by when providing support for the application. Which flavor of Linux have you tested Multi-monitor support on? Rather than trying to cater to more than one flavor, if you consider providing it for just one standard that you pick because it works for you would be a great start. I notice you have "Linux" included in your profile. Then, users who care about $AwesomeWindowManager or $EvenMoreAwesomeWM can write the code to wire it up. So what we are going to do is isolate this low-level access into a layer that we'll put on github. ![]() Similar problems exist with the HID/joystick code. Xrander is what we are using now, and the results are inconsistent when multiple screens are configured with the proprietary nvidia driver.Īs I said, we cannot possibly cater for all window managers that there are on Linux - there will always be a user that has a more exotic WM than everybody else. ![]()
