Dual screen wallpaper in Awesome

Hey,
Not sure it's the right place to ask but here goes..
I'm using Arch with the Awesome WM. I have a dual screen setup where both screens share the same Awesome config (so, ONE screen {} in .awesomerc).
I set the wallpaper with feh by adding "eval `cat $HOME/.fehbg` &" to .xinitrc and my problem is that it only sets the wallpaper on my primary screen.
What I want is two different wallpapers on two different screens/monitors. How is this done?
Also, I'm able to set the wallpapers in both screens by manually running "feh --bg-center file1.jpg" in one and "feh --bg-center file2.jpg" in the other one.

**In the code, for more than two monitors, switch statements might be cleaner
If you don't want to install another application, you can apparently with beautiful/gears:
-- {{{ Wallpaper
if beautiful.wallpaper then
    for s = 1, screen.count() do
        --gears.wallpaper.maximized(beautiful.wallpaper, s, true)
        if s < 2 then
          gears.wallpaper.maximized("path_to_image_one", s, true)
        else
          gears.wallpaper.maximized("path_to_image_two", s, true)
        end
    end
end

  • Dual screen wallpaper

    I was just wondering if anyone has any copies of good wallpaper, arch linux based or otherwise, for dual screen setups (something like 2506x1024).  I made a very very basic one ( http://www.equivalentsystems.net/arch.png ) to tie me over.  But I am an econometrician not an artist and would really appreciate a better background.

  • Nitrogen wallpaper switcher: Dual Screen wallpaper via bash?

    I've grown quite attached to a little script for my laptop that lets me randomly switch the background with nitrogen:
    #! /bin/bash
    WALLPAPERS="/home/elias/Pics/BackgroundShow"
    ALIST=( `ls -w1 $WALLPAPERS` )
    RANGE=${#ALIST[@]}
    let "number = $RANDOM"
    let LASTNUM="`cat $WALLPAPERS/.last` + $number"
    let "number = $LASTNUM % $RANGE"
    echo $number > $WALLPAPERS/.last
    nitrogen --set-zoom-fill --save $WALLPAPERS/${ALIST[$number]}           <---------- Just need to specify the screen here...
    I've had no luck finding how to change just screen 1 or 2 without the GUI.  If there's a way, I would just have a separate hotkey for both.  man nitrogen and nitrogen --help say nothing about setting for a particular screen. 
    Any help would be appreciated

    I'm playing with imlibsetroot, but it doesn't appear to have the same "zoom-fill" function, and if you set one at a time, it clears the other screen.  So you can shuffle both with this:
    #! /bin/bash
    WALLPAPERS="/home/elias/Pics/BackShow"
    ALIST=( `ls -w1 $WALLPAPERS` )
    RANGE=${#ALIST[@]}
    let "number = $RANDOM"
    let LASTNUM="`cat $WALLPAPERS/.last` + $number"
    let "number = $LASTNUM % $RANGE"
    echo $number > $WALLPAPERS/.last
    let "number2 = $RANDOM"
    let LASTNUM="`cat $WALLPAPERS/.last` + $number2"
    let "number2 = $LASTNUM % $RANGE"
    echo $number2 > $WALLPAPERS/.last
    imlibsetroot -x 0 -s $WALLPAPERS/${ALIST[$number]} -x 1 -s $WALLPAPERS/${ALIST[$number2]}
    the option -s scales the image until it fills either the x or y dimension leaving black space.  Of course I could crop or limit myself to images with the right aspect ratio, but that's not a solution.  The options seem fairly extensive, but I don't see a way to emulate "zoom-fill":
    usage: imlibsetroot [globalopts] {[screenopts] [imageopts] <filename>}+
    global options
    --help print usage information
    --version print version information
    --composite combine the images with the current root window

  • [dwm] fibonacci patch doesn't work and DWM dual screen.

    How does dwm handle dual screen?
    (I am now an Awesome user, and i am thinking installing dwm. I love the spiral/dwindle layout in Awesome and I am trying to install the fibonacci patch in dwm(link). But i think it's failing. When i do makepkg, this is the last output before the error. Does anyone have any ideas?)

    Dwm has minimal support for dual screens.   AFAIK they are still working on the best way to support it.  If you must have dual screens the way awesome handles them, I'd suggest you use awesome for the time being.
    For the record I am a dwm user, but I'm using 4.7 because the code got cluttered when they started adding dual screen support.  Once it is implemented in a sensible way I'll upgrade.

  • Any one help me with dual screen?

    I am trying to get my LCD monitor work, which is plugged in VGA.
    However, when i using "xrandr --output VGA --auto" to set it up, i get this failure "xrandr: cannot find crtc for output VGA"
    i am using intel graphic card, and the result of "xrandr -q --verbose" is as follows,

    how many monitors do you want to plugin? three? like damjan said, not sure if that works at all.
    or are the hdmi outputs idle and you're just trying to plug in a second screen?
    whats the exact problem? no output on that screen at all? or mirroring the internal one? in that case, try
    xrandr --output VGA --right-of LVDS
    (or left-of...)
    can you plug that monitor in with hdmi? (adapter/etc) you might try that as well, maybe just the vga fails.
    wow.. thank you konni... and thank damjan
    i turned off HDMI-1, then I could get VGA work!
    now i have dual screens, pretty cool.

  • [Xorg] Dual Screen issue

    Hello ladies and gents,
    I try since few days to configure a dual screen for my arch.
    At least, it doesn't works , my second screen is always black.
    My configuration :
    I have a Radeon HD 7870
    I've installed the opensource drivers xf86-video-ati
    I use awesome 3 as window manager
    The first screen is plug in HDMI on MDMI-0 (it's a ViewSonic 24" in 1920x1080_60)
    The second screen is plug in DVI on DVI-1 (it's a Samsung SyncMaster 24" in 1920x1080_60)
    Both of them works fine in standalone.
    And both of them works fine together during the boot and the system choice (syslinux).
    After the choice, black out for my second screen.
    I'have done lot of tries. Any of them works.
    I tried to use xrandr :
    xrandr --output DVI-1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1920x0 --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --verbose
    The second screen is always black et xrandr returns :
    crtc 0: 1920x1080 60.0 +0+0 "HDMI-0"
    crtc 1: 1920x1080 60.0 +1920+0 "DVI-1"
    Same result with arandr
    For information :
    xrandr -q --verbose
    returns :
    Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3840 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384

    I'm not sure if i posted in the good section. Maybe i should move the post to Kernel & Hardware ?

  • Dual screen with radeon driver stopped working

    I've been using the xf86-video-ati or xf86-video-radeonhd drivers on my ATI 1950Pro card with a dual screen setup on two 22" widescreen Acer monitors for the last year and all of a sudden the dual display is not working anymore. I had not changed my xorg.conf http://pastebin.ca/1409905 but here is my current Xorg log http://pastebin.ca/1409904
    Right now I'm seeing "cloned" desktops on the two screens but ARandR only sees one monitor http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll17 … ot-1-1.png. There was an update to xf86-video-ati yesterday, but no change in my situation unfortunately. Any suggestions or solutions would be awesome. Thanks.

    Using radeonhd driver, it won't let the first monitor have any resolution higher than 1024x768, but the other monitor works fine even though they are identical monitors and my xorg.conf file has full Modeline entries for both and both screen sections have the resolution set to 1680x1050.
    Here is what ARandR is showing:

  • I work on dual screens on a new mac pro but when I do the 4 finger swipe it moves both screens, is there a way to move just the screen that is active?

    I work on dual screens on a new mac pro but when I do the 4 finger swipe it moves both screens, is there a way to move just the screen that is active?

    Multiple desktops and dual screens really aren't meant to work together. Apple came up with this multiple desltops feature and never really thought about users that use a dual monitor setup. So use either multiple desktops OR dual monitors but not both. Also don't try to use any App in Full Screen Mode as that doesn't work with dual screen setups either.

  • Is it possible to connect my mid 2010 Macbook Pro with my 21.5" iMac 11,2 so that I can work with dual screens?

    Is it possible to connect my mid 2010 Macbook Pro with my 21.5" iMac 11,2 so that I can work with dual screens?

  • What options do I have if I want to set up a dual screen?

    I have a Thinkpad T400 with a ATI Radeon HD3470 card. I am running the latest Arch x86_64 with Fluxbox and the 9.4 Catalyst drivers.
    What is the easiest solution to set up a dual screen? Is there a way to do this without editing xorg.conf? Not that editing xorg.conf really is a big problem, but I will be moving around a bit and finding the correct settings for each screen would take some work. And I would like to see how far the dual screen development has come on GNU/Linux.
    The way I see it the best way would be to have two screens with separate resolutions. Since LCD screens do not handle resolutions other then the native very well. So just stretching the screen makes the slave screen run the same height as the parent screen. Or am I wrong? It is not a problem running stretched if the screens run at the native resolution.
    So, xrandr just gives me stretching. And the need of editing xorg.conf.
    What about Twinview(just for nVidia) and Xinerama?
    Is there other solutions?
    SOLUTIONS:
    There is arandr and lxrandr, both frontends to xrandr. Requires minimal xorg.conf editing. Only add a virtual line in the screen section. The virtual size does not have to be accurate, it only have to be bigger then the screens together. In my case, I have a 1440x900 primary screen and at most a 1280x1024 secondary screen. So my virtual size would be minimum 2720x1024. This is with the screens side by side. If the screens is one above the other it would be 1440x1924.
    The exact size of the monitor is handled by xrandr(arandr or lxrandr). So, there will be no dead zone in the width(side by side solution), if the real height is different on the screen there will be a dead zone in height.
    Using arandr or lxrandr means that you manually have to set this up each time the computer is restarted. To automate this, you can use xrandr. First do a
    # xrandr
    Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2464 x 900, maximum 2720 x 1024
    LCD connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 304mm x 190mm

    CRT1 connected 1024x768+1440+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 304mm x 228mm

    512x384 60.0 74.9
    400x300 75.0 60.7
    320x240 75.6 60.0
    320x200 75.5 60.1
    to find out where the screens are connected. Mine are LCD and CRT1. Then test with
    # xrandr --output CRT1 --right-of LCD
    to see if you get a stretched desktop. If this works, just add the last line to your .xinitrc
    This solution gives you stretching.

    This works, and I get separate resolutions on the monitors. I tried using radeonhd but then the resolution on teh second monitor goes to some crappy values(which I figure are calculated proportionally to the 1280x800 one).

    How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?  Not losing the other screen would be useful as I would like to, for example, monitor my emails whilst watching a video or to work on a project whilst watching an instructional video.
    Note : Resizing a window to fill the screen is not acceptable as it still leaves unsightly borders.

  • I'd like to see next generation of Touchsmart PC with Touchsmart keyboard and dual screen

    Where you have a monitor as the display and a seperate keyboard, but the keyboard is another monitor which operates as a keyboard, for example something like this... 
    This ultimately would mean that the keyboard could be application driven, that is it could be specifically configured anyway that the application requires it.  I'd also like to see a dual screen option for touchsmart PC - a screen that is built in and can be slid out from the rear of the monitor to act as dual screen, extended screen...

    I think you are sailing in uncharted waters with those kind of modifications.
    I am only guessing, but if you have not already done so,  do a PRAM reset and then trash your FCP preferences.

    My understanding is the Mac is doing a ram/hardware test during the grey screen, if the card you added had additional memory, then it is very likely the test will take longer - but I am no hardware expert.
