As RandR is around for about three years, it seemed like a very good idea to
|
||||
us and it still is a very good one. What we did not expect, however, was the
|
||||
nVidia binary driver. It still does not support RandR (as of March 2010), even
|
||||
though nVidia announced that it will support RandR eventually. What does this
|
||||
mean for you, if you are stuck with the binary driver for some reason (say
|
||||
the free drivers don’t work with your card)? First of all, you are stuck with
|
||||
TwinView and cannot use +xrandr+. While this ruins the user experience, the
|
||||
more grave problem is that the nVidia driver not only does not support dynamic
|
||||
configuration using RandR, it also does not even expose correct multi-monitor
|
||||
information via the RandR API. So, in some setups, i3 will not find any
|
||||
screens, in others it will find one large screen which actually contains both
|
||||
of your physical screens (but it will not know that these are two screens).

For this very reason, we decided to implement the following workaround: As

long as the nVidia driver does not support RandR, an option called
|

+--force-xinerama+ is available in i3. This option gets the list of screens

would get 3. When you switch to a workspace on a different monitor, i3 will
|
||||
switch to that monitor and then switch to the workspace. This way, you don’t
|
||||
need shortcuts to switch to a specific monitor, and you don’t need to remember
|
||||
where you put which workspace. New workspaces will be opened on the currently
|
||||
active monitor. It is not possible to have a monitor without a workspace.
|
||||
|
||||
The idea of making workspaces global is based on the observation that most users
|
||||
have a very limited set of workspaces on their additional monitors. They are
|
||||
often used for a specific task (browser, shell) or for monitoring several
|
||||
things (mail, IRC, syslog, …). Thus, using one workspace on one monitor and
|
||||
"the rest" on the other monitors often makes sense. However, as you can
|
||||
create an unlimited number of workspaces in i3 and tie them to specific screens,
|
||||
you can have the "traditional" approach of having X workspaces per screen by
|
||||
changing your configuration (using modes, for example).
