Hi. I have been using XMonad on a workstation for a few months and love it. Yesterday I installed it on a laptop and tried to use OpenOffice presentation view on an external projector. In short the presentation screen ended up in another workspace. I really need to run presentations, and really do not want to go back to Gnome. What sort of config magic is needed?

Trying again, the presentation screen actually disappears, I cannot find it anywhere. /Marcus -- Marcus Ahnve http://marcus.ahnve.net phone: +46 8 56 22 33 94 twitter: mahnve

It would depend on whether Xinerama is enabled and whether the external projector mirrors the internal display or is recognized as a separate display. The latter (and possibly the former) are X11 server configuration that XMonad has no control over, - -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkrOU98ACgkQIn7hlCsL25W7twCgxiR/Ym6W1DA6ceZC0bXkz67V ApkAoMz5dcowYSR70TlKCTnpK1qRrSU2 =BkFv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Marcus, The only issue I got with ooimpress was to set the presentation in full screen. To achieve that you can change to Full layout in the workspace or use L.ToggleLayouts to toggle Full. But the best way I found out was to automatically full screen with H.ManageHelpers in the manageHook , isFullscreen --> doFullFloat Anyway, I think you can find faster help at #xmonad channel on freenode Regards, Henrique G.

Just check xrandr -- this shouldn't be an xmonad issue (I use xmonad all the time for presentations...)
