This matches what I remember of randr. I'm pretty happy to see such a patch that has good chances to make it in the repo - and even trigger a new release. However I'd like people who actually have multiple screens setups to *test this and report back*. I have never used ratpoison with multiple screens, I don't have multiple screens at hand and I don't want to make assumptions about the changes that might affect users. :) Thanks, -- jca | PGP : 0x1524E7EE / 5135 92C1 AD36 5293 2BDF DDCC 0DFA 74AE 1524 E7EE _______________________________________________ Ratpoison-devel mailing list Ratpoison-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/ratpoison-devel
