Here is the output:

As you can see, the current screen is 1050x1680 (it's a vertically oriented wide-screen). As I mentioned, the wmii window is in the upper left corner and is only taking up 1024x600 (the laptop screens resolution). The rest of the space is available to the mouse and the wmii menus brought up by alt-p and alt-a display at the very bottom of the monitor rather than the bottom of the box in the upper left.

I setup a secondary monitor to be used as my only display and have
things almost completely worked out. Using 'xrandr' I have the
external display on with the correct resolution and the laptop display
turned off when I go into X (xrandr executes prior to wmii executing).

However wmii's active display appears in the upper left as a box that
is the size of the laptop display (rather than expanding to take up
the entire screen).

Using the menu (via alt-p) displays the program selection list at the
very bottom of the screen (outside of the little wmii window in the
upper left).

How can I force wmii to start using the entire resolution of the screen?

Can you post the output or `xrandr -q`

Thanks,
