Yes. Can drag with mouse or use the default key binding: <Mod 4>+o (where <Mod 4> is your "windows key") > * restrict fullscreen to one monitor, maximize only to the width of one > monitor Yes. In awsome, each monitor is called a "screen" and as such "fullscreen" does what you want. > * don't get confused when I switch on/off the second monitor, e.g. the > programs which were on the second monitor need to be still accessible Awesome 3.0 used to have problems with this, but as of awesome 3.1 I've found that clients (windows in awesome speak) will warp to a connected screen if the screen they are on gets turned off. NB. In this context when I talk about "turing a monitor on/off" I mean the approriate calls to xrandr. > That's all I dare to ask...

If you are using unstable, then just add experimental to your sources.list (WARNING all the usual caveats related to using experimental apply, please do not blame me if you break your system etc.) aptitude install -t experimental awesome On i386, currently this will get you awesome 3.1 r3 The default config should work fine. If you want to customize, copy /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua to ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua and edit away. If you are using a version of Debian older than unstable all bets are off. You may be best to use and older version of awesome, eg 2.3. Cheers, Evo. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
