disper 0.2.1

Bug Description

disper -e works fine here (thinkpad T61), but the deskbars do not switch to external screen.

After doing disper -e the nvidia-settings tool does not have the "Make this the primary display for the x screen" enabled for the external screen.

Please drop me a note if you cannot reproduce or need more information.

Thanks!

Indeed disper 0.2.0 does not care about primary/secondary display (the panel/deskbars always shown on the primary display). This is now fixed on trunk and will be part of the next release.

By default, the flat-panel display is set as primary display, but this can be overriden by using the -d or --displays command-line option: the first one is the primary display.

assignee: nobody → wvengen
milestone: none → 0.2.1

Hello,
first of all: thank you for the great tool. I was looking for the way to setup primary/secondary display and ended up here. It would be probably useful to state it in the documentation and help output. BTW: It works this way :)
