[STUMP] xinerama as two separate screens

[Tadahiko Uehara]

Hi all,

I'd like to manage different groups in two monitors.

Unfortunately, Intel video driver doesn't support separate X screens
on the same GPU.(*1)
So I can only have one large, extended screen from dual heads setup.

Now I am no luck.
It is clearly stated in Info, Stumpwm will treat xinerama with two
heads as one screen.(*2)

My question is,
Is there a way to get what I desire without having separate X screens ?
If not, any plan / idea to rescue users whose video driver won't allow
separate screen? :)

I've tried how other WM handles this, Awesome WM manages different
groups in 2 monitors out of the box under my setup.
It is probably related Shawn mentioned in the other thread that
there's no lisp X11 libraries implements xinerama extension...


Here's my current setup:
> xdpyinfo -ext XINERAMA | grep head
  head #0: 1680x1050 @ 0,0
  head #1: 1024x768 @ 0,1050

> (screen-heads (current-screen))
(#S(frame 0 NIL 0 0 1680 1050) #S(frame 1 NIL 0 1050 1024 768))

> xrandr -q
