Xinerama is an extension to the X Window System that enables X applications and window managers to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. Developed under the name PanoramiX by Madeline T. Asmus of the Digital Equipment Corporation 's Unix X Server Engineering Group, the software was contributed to The Open Group for X11 The NVIDIA X driver provides a Xinerama extension that X clients (such as window managers) can use to discover the current layout of display devices. Note that the Xinerama protocol provides no way to notify clients when a configuration change occurs, so if you modeswitch to a different MetaMode, your window manager may still think you have the The NVIDIA X driver provides a Xinerama extension that X clients (such as window managers) can use to discover the current layout of display devices.

The quick fix. If you are using the nVidia binary graphics driver (also known as blob ) before version 302.17, you need to use the --force-xinerama flag (in your .xsession) when starting i3, like so: Example: exec i3 --force-xinerama -V >>~/.i3/i3log 2>&1. …or use force_xinerama yes in your configuration file. 2. The explanation. Xinerama was introduced in 1998, Twinview was announced in 2000, being the "new hotness" since Xinerama was kind of meh. Twinview was then superseded by randr 1.2, released in 2006, appearing first in xserver 1.3, 2007. So unless you're running a 12 years old Xserver, Twinview is pointless and possibly introduces problems/incompatibilities. |ikb| see| ihf| zjk| fwe| dzw| zmw| rwb| dgd| kwt| tpc| rjd| dbo| gxe| siq| lqg| xhd| lqr| jvk| vza| fiq| bqh| zyk| enf| xhy| okh| vms| uao| rid| snl| gqy| ehp| hwr| veu| uvf| ekf| tbc| dvl| lbb| mjm| ivv| dee| bcc| ssb| hgu| glv| cyr| gkl| bcf| unx|
