Xmonad doesn't respect dual screen

I have a dual screen setup.
When I run xmonad it maximizes the windows across the screens and not on each monitor.
Do I have to change something in the config file ?

  • Xmonad with dual screen strange bug or feature !

    Hi,
    I am running xmonad with dual screen. The strange thing (bug or feature) I noticed that when I move a window to another screen and then try to change the workspace, the window moves along to the same workspace but lands on the other screen.
    Is there any way to switch off this feature. I googled a bit and replaced the greedyView parameter with view but it didn't help.
    regards,
    Hardik

  • [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.

  • 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.

  • Dual screen problem in CS5

    I have been using dual screens with no problems until I installed PS CS5. Now when I drag an image onto the secondary screen the canvas goes black as soon as I relsease the mouse. I can see the rulers etc. and when dragging across the diaplay the image can be seen but as soon as I 'let go' it's blacked out. The really frustrating thing is that this doesn't happen in AI or Dreamweaver (or indeed any other program!).
    So far I have
    Reset the monitors
    when changed to show the same on both screens (clone) the image can be seen perfectly ok on both screens
    when the secondary monitor is made the primary the problem remains (i.e. the PS image is blacked out on that monitor)
    Checked for updates for the monitors (none needed)
    Checked CS5 up to date (no updates required)
    Checked for graphics card updates (none needed) - NVidia GeForce 8600 GTS
    Uninstalled and re installed PS
    Pointed in an annoyed manner at the useless window open on my secondary screen
    Is there something simple that I have mistakenly chosen that is preventing the use of my secondary screen?

    Check to see if nVidia has released an updated driver for your hardware.  Go to their web site to check.
    Unfortunately, from my observations nVidia may have neglected to keep their driver quality up with later releases for the 8600 GT.  I have reports from some of my own customers using my OpenGL software that the driver is troublesome, and have actually reported better results from an older driver version than the very latest release.
    Other things you can try to work around the problem:
    In Photoshop, Edit - Preferences - Performance, [Advanced...] and change to Basic mode.
    Try disabling OpenGL drawing entirely.  If that corrects the issue it's almost a certainty that the nVidia driver is at fault.

  • Dual screens with x1600 mobility & open source driver

    Hi, I've been trying to get a dual screen setup with two truly independent screens (not the one giant screen that xrandr gives you), but I've been having some issues.  The hardware I'm attempting this on is my macbook pro 2.1 with a 1440x900 internal display and ati x1600 mobility, and a 1680x1050 apple cinema display connected with DVI.  Here is the xorg.conf that I've come up with after a bit of tinkering.

    Sorry the tabs are a little screwed up, but I think it's still easy enough to read.  When I start the xserver using this file the external monitor appears to be functioning properly, but the internal display is black.  Moving the mouse off to the right of the external display causes the cursor to appear on the internal display using the default X cursor theme.  The mouse then remains trapped on the internal monitor.  Other than displaying the cursor, the internal display seems to be non-functional.
    If I comment out the Screen...1 line in the ServerLayout section I can get both monitors working with xrandr, but this causes other issues and is not what I want.  Does anybody know how I could get two real screen going?
    Thanks!

  • WINE and my Dual-screens

    I have looked around, quite a bit, haven't found a answer that i've been really looking for...
    I'm a big gamer, and I run two 17" flatpanel monitors at 1280x1024 on a NVIDIA GeForce GTS250.
    When I run apps in WINE, it tries pushing each app out in 2560x1024, such as World of Warcraft... now, for WoW, it doesn't bother me. because my UI scales to 1280x1024 for some reason anyway.
    As for games, like PoRTaL and Left4Dead.... it's trying to squeeze 2560x1024 into one monitor, making them pretty much unable to play..
    I have tried emulating the app in a virtual environment, at 1280x1024... and I really don't wanna disable my other monitor every time.... Because I use them for Cheats, or a guide, whatever I tend to use it for...
    Is there a way to push these apps into 1280x1024 instead of my dual-screen resolution?
    It's one of the main issues for me keeping Winblows 7 on my computer... pretty sure once I figure this out, i can get rid of it.
    Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, probably wasn't searching the right terms and what not.

    Perhaps, if you are interested, you could setup a new xorg.conf which has separate X sessions for each window (rather than TwinView), such that you could open up what you want on one window, then play your game on the other.  Even if that is beyond what you want, you could check out ways to dynamically turn off screens:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=81310
    For a while there I would launch games via scripts, which called xrandr first to turn off my second screen, but these days I launch everything with xinit to avoid turning off/on compiz for max performance.
    I'm interested to see what you decide on, post back here
    I have thought about both options, and I'm not sure if I wanna do either of them,
    I mean, I want WINE apps to go into 1280x1024 which makes sense that I won't be able to unless I disable a monitor or run two separate X sessions, which I'll probably set it up to run two separate X sessions.
    Still doing some research and making my decision.

  • Dual screen HP Pavillon P6-2427eb

    The second one is a HP 23" screen with Displayport connection (also has DVI + VGA) but I get no signal on it.
    When I connect the DVI to the HP screen, this one works, but I can't get them both to work.
    On the motherboard there are 2 DVI connectors, so I removed the seperate video card and connected both screens on DVI, they both work but duplicate the image.
    When I look in the settings of my screens, and try to activated dual screen it says only one monitor is connected.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi JumJonckers, You have an ATI graphic card right? have you installed the latest ATI driver for your graphic card?
    Please have a look on your graphic card multimonitor FAQ:
    http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/MultimonitorFAQ.aspx
    Also, here is a quick guide on how to dual monitors on ATI Catalyst(the graphic card driver):

    Thanks, Adi.

  • Microsoft Word consistently becomes active window when clicking between dual screens and programs

    13" MBP
    2.3 ghz i5
    8GB Ram
    Running 10.9.2
    Microsoft Word 2011
    Dual screens with amazon Mini Display to VGA adapter
    When I am running word between an external monitor and my MBP, Microsoft word always interrupts any clicks between programs and between screens to become the active window. This is especially annoying when I am trying to navigate between MacMail and Chrome, or any other programs.
    The problem doesn't exist when I click between programs on the MBP, but only when I select windows between the two screens. Or programs on the external monitor.
    Word is up to date, as is my MBP.
    Please don't punt me to Microsoft, they're the worst!
    Thanks!

    There is a workaround for this problem, which was posted by Highestwater on the Microsoft Community thread for this bug and worked for me as well:
    Go to
    System Preferences > Mission Control >
    and UN-check the box labeled "Displays have separate Spaces" (see image below)
    The original poster on this thread may already be aware of this workaround, because he/she mentioned that the "separate Spaces" option is checked. But if you can live without the extra Mavericks dual display features (like going full screen in 1 display only, switching spaces independently on each display, and having a menu bar on each display), then uncheck this option and the "stealing focus" bug seems to disappear. For me the bug is so annoying that it's worth it to lose the extra features. Just yesterday I closed a Word document I was working on by mistake because I clicked on a Finder window on my other display and immediately pressed command-w to close it, without realizing that the focus had switched to my word document which closed instead. It was saved, but this sort of stuff interrupted my work enough to be both an annoyance and a time drain.

  • Dual Screens in Windows 7 (Boot Camp)

    Hi,
    I recently installed Windows 7 in bootcamp and I would like to use dual screens with my Mac Mini. Windows only recognies one of my monitors (the Mini-Display Port) and cannot find the Mini-DVI monitor. Am I missing a driver or something (I have installed the Windows Drivers off of the OS X CD Already)
    Thanks in Advance!

    mp4 is just a wrapper... doesn't tell, what's inside.
    use a tool such as iMediaHUD
    http://www.iffmpeg.com/iMediaHUD/
    to tell us a lil' more, what that mp4 really is ..

  • [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

  • MSI R6870 (2PM2DIGD5) dual-screen capabilities.

    Good afternoon. I am having some issues with my graphics card, which I was hoping someone here could help out with.
    I decided upon a new system a few days ago, and seeing how the R6870 is a very nice card for a very nice price I decided upon that one, also keeping in mind the option to expand later in life using Xfire. I've been building my own systems since I was 12 so naturally I decided upon that. Preferring to spend an hour assembling the system over waiting two weeks for someone else to get around to it.
    The issue is as follows: DVI port 2 does *not* give off a signal (bottom one when the card is built in). Not even during bootup.
    The setup:
    Code: [Select]
    MoBo: MSI G70A-G54
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 (2.8Ghz)
    GPU: MSI R6870 2PM2DIGD5
    PS: Coolermaster SilentProM 700W
    Both screens are connected with a dvi-vga adapter
    The system is a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
    What I've tried:
    1. I swapped the cables around. Whatever screen is on port 1 works flawlessly.
    2. Updated the drivers.
    3. Booted in safe mode.
    4. Went to the shop and got myself a new graphics card (same type).
    What I suspect:
    1. The card is not capable of running two screens through a dvi-vga convertor? (would be pretty sad for a brand new card)
    2. It needs to be connected to the power supply using seperate cables for both of it's connectors? Is it that big of a drain on power? Could this be the cause of my problems?
    Is there anyone here that has had similar issues, or knows someone that had, and has a solution for me? All the shops are closed for now, but if this isn't fixed by monday I'm afraid I'm going to have to go for a different brand, this is getting really annoying.
    Hoping for a quick reply,
    -- M.

    Not the perfect testing setup, but currently have the card running in a windows vista 64bit machine. It also has an MSI Mobo and a Phenom CPU. Just slightly older types.
    I can get dual screen on this setup, but only if the second port is connected WITHOUT a dvi-vga convertor. Two VGA monitors still doesn't work which makes me think this is something that just doesn't work with this card.
    The crashing problem could not be simulated.
    I'm severely tempted to just exchange the graphics card for a different type, unless anyone has a better suggestion?

  • Dual screen GDM problem

    I have a rather big problem with my dual screen setup. The left screen is 1920x1080 and the right one 1360x768.
    This is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "DVI-0"
    Option "Primary" "true"
    Option "Position" "0 0"
    Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080"
    EndSection
    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "DVI-1"
    Option "Position" "1920 180"
    Option "PreferredMode" "1360x768"
    EndSection
    I set it up as described here. However, GDM doesn't behave as normal, but gets stuck with a slightly dimmed default GDM background (the one with the blue stripes) on the first screen and a crazily flashing second screen. I never even get to the login prompt.
    If I plug the second screen out before the computer boots, GDM starts normally. I can then plug it back in as soon as the GNOME Shell panel has appeared. If I do this before the panel is visible, I get two screens full of graphics errors (a mess of blue/magenta/white squares).
    As soon as the second screen is plugged back in, I can immediately use it and drag windows back and forth, however, the "Position" setting in xorg.conf is ignored, i.e. the height is shifted. I can solve this by entering this in the terminal:
    xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --output DVI-1 --mode 1360x768 --pos 1920x180
    I hope someone can help me with this. I just want to be able to log in and use the second screen straight away. By the way, if I log out, GDM doesn't seem not have any problem with the second screen: I can log back in normally.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you, but "180" actually means that the upper border of the 2nd display starts 180 pixels below that of the 1st one. The number may be a bit misleading, but it is how my displays are physically set up.
    olive wrote:If gdm cannot behave properly, you can simply disable the external monitor in xorg.conf
    This is a fabulous idea, I hadn't even thought about this! Launching the xrandr command at the start of the GNOME session is really easy with gnome-session-properties.
    I tried disabling the 2nd display, but it just ignores the line and starts with GDM flashing like usual. This is my xorg.conf:
    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "DVI-0"
    Option "Primary" "true"
    Option "Position" "0 0"
    Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080"
    EndSection
    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "DVI-1"
    Option "Position" "1920 180"
    Option "PreferredMode" "1360x768"
    Option "Disable" "true"
    EndSection
    If I could get this to work, this would be a wonderful workaround.

  • Workspace doesn't fit the screen anymore...

    Hello.
    Since today (and Mac OS X's update I installed this morning, I guess), my Photoshop CS6 workspace doesn't fit the screen of my 12 inch Cintiq (connected to a 2014 Macbook Air).  No matter what I do, it keeps it wrong.
    Trying to set the photoshop window to the whole Cintiq screen with the "green" Mac OS corner button, this is what I get:
    Hitting F won't do the trick, this is what it gets me:
    I tried to clear the Photoshop prefs, without success.  I checked for updates and found there was a Photoshop update I had not yet installed, and I did install it, to no success.  Needless to say, this makes my copy of Photoshop most unusable, which is a really big problem for an illustrator like me.  I really wish I can solve this as soon as possible.
    Thanks.

    Yeah, no results. Still the same.
    If I take my main window and move it up by myself, it's just gonna stay there until the next click somewhere, then it gets back to this wrong placement,.
