=== Forcing Xinerama
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As explained in-depth in <http://i3wm.org/docs/multi-monitor.html>, some X11
|
||||||
|
video drivers (especially the nVidia binary driver) only provide support for
|
||||||
|
Xinerama instead of RandR. In such a situation, i3 must be told to use the
|
||||||
|
inferior Xinerama API explicitly and therefore don’t provide support for
|
||||||
|
reconfiguring your screens on the fly (they are read only once on startup and
|
||||||
|
that’s it).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For people who do cannot modify their +~/.xsession+ to add the
|
||||||
|
+--force-xinerama+ commandline parameter, a configuration option is provided:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Syntax*:
|
||||||
|
-----------------------
|
||||||
|
force_xinerama <yes|no>
|
||||||
|
-----------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Example*:
|
||||||
|
------------------
|
||||||
|
force_xinerama yes
|
||||||
|
------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also note that your output names are not descriptive (like +HDMI1+) when using
|
||||||
|
Xinerama, instead they are counted up, starting at 0: +xinerama-0+, +xinerama-1+, …
