=== 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 dont provide support for
reconfiguring your screens on the fly (they are read only once on startup and
thats it).

+--force-xinerama+ commandline parameter, a configuration option is provided:
