Hi xmonaders,
I have decided to move my XMonad install inside a sandbox to avoid
problems when packages are updated. I'm able to run XMonad with cabal
exec xmonad and I'm very happy with it. My only problem is that XMonad
cannot use Xinerama for some reason: if I configure two displays then I
get a single display which is the union of the first one with the second
one. I cannot find any way to use displays as independent. What I'm
doing wrong? MATE is able to use Xinerama without problems and X11,
XMonad and XMonad-contrib are built with xinerama:
> ldd ../../xmonad/.cabal-sandbox/bin/xmonad
...
libXinerama.so.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXinerama.so.1
(0x00007f86f66e8000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6
(0x00007f86f63b2000)
libXrandr.so.2 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXrandr.so.2
(0x00007f86f61a8000)
...
I have libxinerama:
> ghc -e Graphics.X11.Xinerama.compiledWithXinerama
True
And Xorg starts with Xinerama:
> grep -i xinerama /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[ 13.627] Initializing built-in extension XINERAMA
I don't know what's wrong...how can I understand what's going on?
Thanks in advance,
Mario
