Unfortunately, the results are still the same. The external monitor's entire display allows the mouse cursor, however wmii is only available in the upper left corner. As you can see in the screenshot below, the statusbar shows the bottom of the workable space, even though I can mouse over the entire display and you can see the alt-p menu at the very bottom:

Any help would truly be appreciated. I thought that there *must* be a way to force wmii's display size so that it is using the entire thing.

I simply need a way to tell it that it should be using 1050x1680

Thanks

I will give that a shot. Right now I am running

xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --rotate left --output LVDS1 --off

Prior to wmii starting so that, that display is simply shut off. I will
add the "--right-of" designation in addition to what is already there so
that it will read:

xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --right-of LVDS1 --rotate left --output
LVDS1 --off

I'm down in the datacenter now so that will have to wait until I get
back to my desk.

Thanks for input - I'll let you know

It looks to me like your two XRandR screens are overlapping. That
probably means if you try to move a client to the right off the edge of
the screen, it'll take up the entire screen (either over or under any
clients in the smaller area). As for the menus, they always open on
whichever screen has the mouse. Try,

xrandr --output VGA1 --right-of LVDS1
