If you > care about ratpoison, please test those tarballs and report back, Okay. I have tried out 1.4.7-rc3, as requested. I do use ratpoison every day on every system I use, from an OpenPandora upwards. I tried it on an up to date Ubuntu system (13.10 with most upgrades) on a large Dell Precision laptop with external monitor, currently using ratpoison 1.4.6-1 from ubuntu's universe package repository. The new version compiled just fine. Problem running: instead of treating each monitor (the laptop one and the external one) as separate screens, it combined them into one. This is not good as the two screens are different sizes. I am using the xinerama option in my xorg.conf file. The video card is an AMD/ATI Blackcomb (Radeon HD 6970M/6990M). The new behaviour is probably more correct but version 1.4.6 treated each screen separately but as part of the same display (:0.0). I will try without xinerama now. <interruption> The new version of ratpoison works in that it doesn't start by trying to cover both screens with a given window. However, each screen is now a separate display (:0.0 and :0.1), not allowing windows to migrate from one screen to the other. Version 1.4.6 behaves the same. So, the new version works differently than the previous version in xinerama mode. I can probably get used to not using xinerama but I do like moving windows from one screen to the other. On my work computer, which I haven't tried with the new ratpoison yet, I have two large monitors, one in normal landscape orientation but the other in a vertical portrait orientation and moving a window from one to the other as I do different things is quite useful. thanks, eric -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xFFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.4.50.2 + Ma Gnus v0.10 + evil evil-git-8394c20 : BBDB version 3.1.1 (2014-03-11 17:17:00 -0500) _______________________________________________ Ratpoison-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/ratpoison-devel
