Hello :-) Some of you might have seen my discussion on the Xorg list about the classic dual-screen mode effectively being phased out by Xorg (drivers dropping what they call Zaphod mode), in favor of moving everybody to xrandr for multiple displays.
In case you don't know, this means there is only one $DISPLAY and a window manager with virtual desktops will (assuming it even gets along with randr in the first) place switch all display's desktop at the same time. There is no more just switching your left screen and leaving the right screen where it is. The Xorg discussion goes on with my I don't like that at all and want to continue using classic dual-screen. You can read the details here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2010-February/thread.html Start with http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2010-February/049154.html Now, apart from multiple other client breakages... I would really like to continue being able to use separate virtual desktop switching for the individual screens (even though they are one display). The Xorg people said this is possible if you hack it into the window manager. So, my question is: anybody here has any idea what would be involved in doing this? Why would this be any easier than -say- dividing a single screen into sections that you can do separate virtual desktop switching on?
