Hi,
I am using 0.91 on SUSE 9.3 with Xorg 6.8.2 on a T42p with the radeon
driver running an internal 1600x1200 and an external 1280x1024 screen in
dualscreen mode.
Previous versions of wmaker had minor charming inconveniences (I have been
running wmaker for several years on SUSE), but this time it
is getting a bit rough:
Windows that are iconized on screen 1 ws 1 can not be deiconized on
screen 1 ws 2, they show up on ws 1 again which is quite confusing. This
does not happen when I work in single screen mode.
When wandering between the screens quite often wmaker gets in a state where
it will no longer react. I can still move the mouse around, but neither
wmaker nor apps (Acrobat, VMWare 5.0, Firefox, xterms, etc...) will
react to clicks. I can switch to the console and kill wmaker, but I can
not make it restart (even if the restart window pops up, it will not get
the confirmation mouse click).
I need to kill both instances explicitly.
I don't see anything special in the .xsession-errors file when wmaker
hangs.
The previous version (don't remember what was shipped with SEUS 9.2, but
definitley not a 0.9 release) did not have any problems with a dualscreen
setup.
Is this a known problem? Anything I should try to narrow it down? Any
workarounds (apart from do not run dualscreen ;-)?
thx
afx
