You can locally recompile and install (in that order) haskell-x11, xmonad, xmonad-contrib. If you have libxinerama-dev and x11proto-xinerama-dev (not sure which) installed while doing so, you’ll get xinerama support. If you need more detailed instructions, feel free to ask.
I tried recompiling all this stuff to no avail. Specifically, I've rebuilt the debian source packages for x11, xmonad and xmonad-contrib and also *removed* those and built the versions from hackage. Everything seems to work just fine except xinerama. I suspect there may be breakage deeper into the system somewhere. libxinerama-dev has also been upgraded, I may have to try downgrading that and rebuilding again.
Just checking back: The problem is also present when building xmonad from cabal, independant from the debian packages? Do you have x11proto-xinerama-dev installed? What is the output of the configure step when configuring haskell-x11? For other interested parties: Detailed steps to locally re-build your debian xmonad packages, check http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=469852 Thanks, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nomeata@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
