Hi, I've been thinking to write to the list for quite a long time. I''ve got a few multiscreen issues, maybe you can help. I am highly mobile user, using few external displays (beamers for lectures and normal displays for work) a day. My hardware is a plain Intel HDA with VGA output (using xrandr). Using awesome 3.4.11 on arch.
Multiscreen questions, 1. When I add activate external display, all my clients (windows) form my LVDS screen momentarily switch to the external display. Is there a way to force them to stay. I always use my LVDS as the primary for work (coding, browsing) and the external for reading/presentations. 2. When I move a client to the external screen (say Chromium) and maximise it, it jumps back to the LVDS screen maximised. 3. When I put in xrandr my external left of my main, the resolution of the external is completely garbled. The picture is tiled of the picture from the main display. When I set the external's resultion to the same as the main's everything is fine then. Systray question 4. Is there a way to focus on systray with a keyboard and "click" the tray icon ? I would like to use gajim like that. It is not some urgent thing for me, just curious whether the mojo for that exists. Widget question 5. I would like to create widget that presents plain text that can change when some file's contents changes. In vicious there are only widgets that are specialised for the task (mem, net, etc). Where should I look to accomplish it ? -- Pozdrawiam, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dariusz Dwornikowski, Institute of Computing Science, Poznań University of Technology www.cs.put.poznan.pl/ddwornikowski/ room 2.7.2 BTiCW | tel. +48 61 665 29 41 | mobile: +48 533 890 600 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
