• Multiscreen hackfest for openSUSE

  </a>

  Here is a belated announcement for the multiscreen hackfest we are having at openSUSE this week and the next.

  Do you have multiple monitors connected to the same machine? A laptop and a projector or an external display? Do you get a lot of pain from trying to get it all to work?

  If so, be sure to participate in the multiscreen hackfest!

  Some work we are doing:

  • Integrate Søren Sandmann's, Bryce Harrington's, and James Westby's work for gnome-desktop, gnome-settings-daemon, and gnome-control-center so that the Display capplet will let you configure your multiple monitors easily.

  • Pay attention to all the bugs in X drivers that we run into while testing the configuration tools. Document any quirks that need to be set in xorg.conf by hand.

  • Fix all the bugs in applications when used in multiscreen mode ("I clicked on a button but the dialog appeared in the wrong monitor").
