It's not so surprising that awesome isn't popular, as it's going up against modern desktop environments like GNOME 3, KDE 4 and Unity. The third desktop choice, however, is surprising: the awesome window manager.Īwesome is no stranger to me: I have been using it for three years as the window manager on my main work computer because it's highly configurable and visually minimalistic, so I can focus on my work without any distractions. Two of the new experimental editions are equipped with unsurprising desktop environments: LXDE and E17 (Enlightenment). Sabayon Linux, the easy-to-use Linux distribution built on top of Gentoo Linux, recently announced three new experimental editions that supplement their previous GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and Core releases. V: height 1200 start 0 end 0 total 1200 clock 50.This article was contributed by Koen Vervloesem H: width 3200 start 0 end 0 total 3200 skew 0 clock 60.0KHz Xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Is there anything I can do to tell the window manager, or whoever is doing this, not to limit the window to a single monitor, and let me use the entire screen? (I assume the 7 pixels are window decoration, which is fine.)īut, if I then XMoveWindow(display, win, 800, 0), it will move the window to span the screens, and I can then enlarge it up to 3200 wide (minus a few pixels). Any XResizeWindow larger than that gets shrunk to 1593. When I call XCreateWindow(display, DefaultRootWindow(display),įor a window 1700x930 at 220,0 I get a window 1593x930 at 0,0, keeping it entirely on the left monitor. XDisplayWidth(display, 0) returns 3200 and XDisplayHeight(display, 0) returns 1200.
Is there a hint or property I can associate with the window to tell the WM not to limit it?įor my test case, I have two 1600x1200 monitors that nVidia is presenting as one 3200x1200 screen to KDE4.
I'm trying to use XResizeWindow() to make a window which will span 2 monitors, but the ?window manager? is limiting it to one.
