Answering my own question, it gets its info from the XINERAMA extension, which can be queried like this: xdpyinfo -ext XINERAMA The heads showing up there determine the heads used in fluxbox. Apparently the fglrx driver doesn't enable XINERAMA by default, so it has to be done manually, in the ServerLayout section of xorg.conf: Option "Xinerama" "True" Cheers, Hans On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 9:54 AM, Hans Schippers <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Somehow fluxbox seems to be able to find out that I have a two screen > setup (which I configure through xrandr). > > This works fine with a radeon driver. > > However, when I change the driver to fglrx, I still have two screens > but fluxbox sees them as one big screen (so for example, the choice > for the slit to be put on a specific screen is gone). > > Hence my question, which info does fluxbox use to determine the number > of screens?
