p.s. I'm using the pre-built Ubuntu packaged version of xmonad (0.6-3), along with libghc6-xmonad-contrib-dev (0.6-4) and libghc6-xmonad-dev (0.6-3) downloaded via the Synaptic Package Manager. I'm hoping that the difference in version numbers is not significant!
p.p.s. if I do "xmonad --version" at a prompt, I'm told I have version 0.5! So I'm not absolutely sure which version I've got on my system....
You've got 0.6, but it's still too old. Just update to xmonad 0.8 and it should solve your problem. (Actually, it was a packaging problem under Debian/Ubuntu, but it's fixed in newer xmonad packages). And yes, xmonad will work with xranrd.
I second that. I've switched to building xmonad from source (pull the sources from the cabal and build them with runhaskell) and installing in my $HOME. Dual-Head operation based on Xrandr is fully supported. Regards, Töns -- There is no safe distance.
