I have included my xdpyinfo output below. My two monitors are:
Top (external) 1600 x 1200 (this monitor has the menu bar on top)
Bottom (laptop) 1680 x 2250
xdpyinfo reports the screen size as 1680 x 2250. The 2250 dimension
is the sum of the two screen heights. Should that number be smaller
to exclude the menu bar, or is it supposed to
That's your problem, if you wanted them to not be joined like
that. I
believe I've seen on this list that the menubar's space is included.
(Personally, I'd like both the menubar and the dock excluded.)
I agree - the present way (in my case) yields a situation I can not
recover from.
Excluding the menubar size is inherently safe. I noticed there is a
full-screen option in the X11 preferences. Depending on which way
that is checked, perhaps the reported screen size should change to
include or exclude the menubar height. Catering for the dock (mine
is hidden automatically) might be problematic - adding/subtracting
stuff to that on the fly can change the dock height.
That is the correct physical size (as will be needed for full screen
when it's implemented). X11 is told about the "usable" area, and that
should be passed on.
I think this is just a case of a badly written tk window.
Interestingly, it also thinks everything is 75dpi. I haven't seen a
75dpi screen in eons...
That's the X11 default, and suggests the video driver isn't reporting
the right information.
or X11 is ignoring it...
Yeah... and for this very reason... if we have 2 monitors, they are
combined into one screen... both monitors can have different dpi... so
it's not clear what we should do about it...Attachment:
