I upgraded to them last week because apt tried to install 3.3.6 overtop of the 4.0.0 that I compiled. Got a question for you regarding the debs. Brian Almeida (who sat next to me at work until about half an hour ago) suggested I get in touch with you if I couldn't track it down. I'm running woody on a machine with the following config: Dual PIII/500 256MB RAM Matrox G200/8MB at 1:0:0 Matrox Millenium II/4MB at 0:18:0 Dual Sony Trinitron G500 21" monitors XFree86 4.0.1-0phase2v30 debs Enlightenent-0.16.5-1 Before you started cutting .debs, I ended up getting XFree86 4.0.0 and compiling from source. things worked fine, including Xinerama. When I rebuilt the box and installed the .debs of 4.0.1, I started having a problem with the dual heads. I created a bunch of double-sized backgrounds for X by pasting two regular images together. I noticed after I got back up and running that the root window, desktop 0 in enlightenment wasn't behaving right. Instead of having different pictures on each monitor, I had the same one on both. Other desktops were behaving normally. I thought this might be a problem with Enlightenment, but then, as I got the machine configured to my liking, I noticed that the image I was using for my xdm login (which was a normal-sized image that xinerama was stretching to fit the two desktops) was doing the same thing. The left half of the stretched image was displayed on the xdm login. I wanted to email you directly since you are the most knowledgeable about things X in the entire Project, plus I didn't want to file a bug report since it is entirely likely that I could have something misconfigured or did something stupid. If you need any more information, please let me know. Anything you can suggest? Thanks man, -- --Brad ============================================================================ Bradley M.
