RRXinerama and rootless is not working properly
trafficstars
nxagent -ac -R :55DISPLAY=:55 xrandrwill show a list of resolutions not prefixed withnxwhich means rrxinerama is not activepkill -HUP nxagent && sleep 3 && pkill -HUP nxagentDISPLAY=:55 xrandrwill show one resolution prefixed withnxwhich means rrxinerama is active
As rrxinerama is enabled by default but not active before the first screen resize. In rootless mode this normally never happens. With one exception: reconnect. So, two possible solutions:
- trigger a (dummy) resize event in rootless mode after startup
- never activate rrxinerama in rootless mode
additional observation: If you do the same without -R the nxagent will come up after pkill with a grey background instead of black as before the pkill (see #733)
