=== 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+, …
