[xmonad] Re: It won't, no. The exec causes the shell to vanish (so the second xmonad isn't seen at all). Try something like /home/eric/bin/xmonad & setenv DISPLAY=beryllium:0.1 exec /home/eric/bin/xmonad Presuming that works OK, you might want to sta

My script is currently the following (I use tcsh).

/home/eric/bin/xmonad & setenv DISPLAY beryllium:0.1 exec /home/eric/bin/xmonad & wait

However, the second screen still isn't loading correctly. Does everything look okay for this?

Try removing the other exec as well.

Or (more primitively) just run one xmonad and see if you can run the other one from a terminal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey, that kind of worked! I started an xmonad in the xsession script. Then did the following through a terminal. setenv DISPLAY beryllium:0.1 /home/eric/bin/xmonad & It indeed allows me to get an xmonad on the second screen. Everything works fine with the exception of the mouse. When I want to do anything on the other screen, I need to have the mouse hover over the window that is considered the master pane (I think I have the term correct, please bare with me as I am new to xmonad). So is there a way to gain focus of the other screen without having to move over the master pane (just having to hover over any window on the other screen)? I ask this because it becomes extremely easy for me to forget which one is the master pane (especially if I move it to a different workspace). Thanks, Eric Thomas
