awesome 3.5.6 has some problems when running on multiple _separate_ X11 screens. This setup is also known as "ZapHod" mode : no TwinView, esp. no Xinerama. The details are already provided UPSTREAM : . . . https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/598 :: bug #598 "Regression: Multiple separate X11 screens setup (Zaphod, no Xinerama) fails; WORKAROUND: start multiple instances" Find patches and examples (for Gentoo) at the cited Cross-Reference . . . https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=571544 Thanks.
What you are saying is, that we basically should apply https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/commit/fc8c91c0 resp. the backported patch https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=422558&action=diff to Fedora's awesome package, right? Anything else to add?
(In reply to Thomas Moschny from comment #1) > right? Yes - I think it boils down to that, as far as the packkage is concearned. I'm still wondering abount the miracle why and how dbus should recognize "this is different VGA HW" :( > Anything else to add? And I am thinking about a good place containing all the rest of the gathered information - some kind of "HowTo", maybe? I guess, preferedly @ awesome docu to have it central, not separate it for every distribution ...
