I've run Evolution on multiple monitors since late 2008, spanning Evolution version 2.28 through to 3.10.4, with 2 x 24" monitors until 2012, and 3 x 24" monitors since then, all in portrait rather than landscape orientation. Copy and paste worked fine in all the above Evo versions and time. The multi-monitor annoyances that I have encountered have been non-Evo things, like the login greeter orientation is wrong, the BIOS bootup output orientation is wrong, and some desktops like early Gnome 3 seemed to crash a lot. It's always been via one graphics card (Nvidia card using proprietary drivers and then nouveau open source drivers until 2012, and on-board Intel HD Graphics Haswell card using open source driver since then), so presumably it's always been one X server, set up as one big desktop that stretches horizontally. Other than that, I really can't tell you much about the X setup I'm using, I just go with whatever the distro (Ubuntu) ships, and follow the xkcd view of X11: https://xkcd.com/963/ . Though if you care about Evo being up-to-date, I'd avoid Ubuntu, because unfortunately they don't seem to care about keeping it current. Fedora and OpenSuse seem to get good distro recommendations on this list as regards keeping Evo up-to-date. -- All the best, Nick. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
