[xmonad] dual monitor

[Lajos Bodnar]

Hi all.
I'm new in the mail list, and sorry for my english ...

I tried to set up my wm for dual monitor with these keyboard settings:
-- mod-[1..9], Switch to workspace N
-- mod-shift-[1..9], Move client to workspace N
--
[((m .|. mod4Mask, k), windows $ f i)
| (i, k) <- zip (XMonad.workspaces conf) [xK_1 .. xK_9]
, (f, m) <- [(W.greedyView, 0), (W.shift, shiftMask)]]
++
--
-- mod-{w,e,r}, Switch to physical/Xinerama screens 1, 2, or 3
-- mod-shift-{w,e,r}, Move client to screen 1, 2, or 3
--
[((m .|. mod4Mask, key), screenWorkspace sc >>= flip whenJust (windows
. f))
| (key, sc) <- zip [xK_w, xK_e] [0..]
, (f, m) <- [(W.view, 0), (W.shift, shiftMask)]]

I exprerienced that when I switch workspace the opened windows moved the
new workspace from the inactive screen. If the inactive screen is empty in
the workspace where I have just moved then a window will fill it. I hope it
is understandable for you.
Any idea ?
What is wrong ? What causes it ?

Regards,
Lajos

You don't need to add keybindings, they are default. I assume this means
you have been using the bad "example config" that overrides every possible
setting with the defaults from some particular version instead of
inheriting the defaults, and will need to be extremely careful about xmonad
upgrades because your config won't magically rewrite itself to be
compatible. (I think mod-shift-space is the one that will bite you in 0.13.)

Hi!
Morning :)
I tried what Brandon mentioned before, but the result is same.
Did you send me a correct link about a correct xmonad.hs ?
Maybe can I make a configuration where the half of the workspaces resides
the screen 1 and the other ones resides screen 2 ?

Regards,
Lajos

Can you show the config you tried after following the greedyView FAQ? That
really should fix the behavior you're describing.

The second feature you describe can *also* be done, see:

Hi!
Daniel, I tried the "IndependentScreens" and it's working like a charm.
Thanks for all to all of you :)
