Hi all, some time ago, I had installed two screens on my PC, but did not connect them in the right ports : after installing Xorg, my physical left and right monitors were swaped, thus to go from left screen to right screen, I had to send the mouse at the left edge of my left screen so that it could appear on the right edge of my right screen.
Of course, it is easy to repair it, either by replugging the screens on the right ports, or by swaping physical screens, or by running arandr. And I have used one of these solutions. Still, if there was a possibility to have a "torus" as desktop (ie. sending mouse to upper edge, it reappears at bottom edge, and sending the mouse to the left edge of a screen, it would appear on the right edge of the other screen) I would be interested in it. I would be even more interested if one could also warp windows, as far as we do not allow a window to recover itself. Example: ┏━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━┓ ┏━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━┓ ┃win1│ ┃ ┃ │win1┃ ┠────┘ ┃ ┃ └────┨ ┠────┐ ┌───────┨ ┠────┐ ┌───────┨ ┃win2│ │ ┃ ┃ │ │win2 ┃ ┠────┘ │win3 ┃ ┃win3│ └───────┨ ┠────┐ └───────┨ ┠────┘ ┌────┨ ┃win1│ ┃ ┃ │win1┃ ┗━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ┗━━━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━┛ And with swaped screens: ┏━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━┓ ┏━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━┓ ┃ │win1┃ ┃win1│ ┃ ┃ └────┨ ┠────┘ ┃ ┠────┐ ┌───────┨ ┠────┐ ┌───────┨ ┃ │ │win2 ┃ ┃win2│ │ ┃ ┃win3│ └───────┨ ┠────┘ │win3 ┃ ┠────┘ ┌────┨ ┠────┐ └───────┨ ┃ │win1┃ ┃win1│ ┃ ┗━━━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━┛ ┗━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━┛ I do not know how hard that would be, and I would not know who would have to implement it (xorg, compiz, the window manager…). I would be curious of what we can achieve at best, and try the result. Do you have any pointer on similar work? -- AUGER Cedric
