I'm seeing focus problems every few months running WindowMaker, also in a 2 head configuration. The focus stick with one window - you can close that one using mouse, but you still won't be able get focus on another window. A restart of windowmaker won't help, so far I was forced doing a complete X restart whenever this happened. Not shure when it started, likely with an update from an old XFree to an Xorg release (installed xorg-6.8.2). -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de http://www.fizon.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
