Oh. In that case I think if you have focus in workspace 1, and workspace 2 is displayed in the other screen, then mod-2 ought to change focus to the other screen.
mod-2 don't change to the other screen (or mod-1 !)
Don't know, then. Unless your pointer can move slightly. I use a Wacom tablet and mouse, and it can move by a few pixels just because of noise. If the pointer is close to the boundary of a window, then sometimes the focus can move unexpectedly, and with the old xmonad behaviour that sometimes gave the effect you report. I guess that might happen with other kinds of pointing device, though I'd have thought it would be unusual.

My pointer don't move and it is in the middle of a screen. I have passed enough time to try that ... I'm so sad to continu to use Ion ... so, I will be back a day... I want to thank everybody. see you soon :)

Hmm. We still have no idea what the problem was though. Can you describe exactly which version of xmonad you downloaded, and what behaviour occured, after you logged in and started xmonad? Was Xinerama detected? What bindings work? -- Don

After starting, I find two empty screen.
Was Xinerama detected? Yes I can specify when I start X whitout Xinerama option the problem (switching workspace) is the same. What bindings work?
Mod-e ; mod-w ;mod-p ; mod-shift-return ; mod-shift-q ; mod-space

So you have 2 physical screens connected with Xinerama. xmonad sets them up correctly, and you can move focus between the two screens correctly, and open new xterms? You can also modify the tiling algorithm with mod-space. However, your mod-1..n workspace switching don't work? Is it possible you've got a strange mod key setting, perhaps? What does xmodmap print? -- Don

I have a french keyboard (azerty). I have modified the Config.hs file : -- mod-[1..9] @@ Switch to workspace N -- mod-shift-[1..9] @@ Move client to workspace N [((m .|. modMask, k), f i) | (i, k) <- zip [0 .. fromIntegral workspaces - 1] [xK_1 ..] , (f, m) <- [(view, 0), (shift, shiftMask)]] ++ -- Ajout -- mod-[1..9] @@ Switch to workspace N -- mod-shift-[1..9] @@ Move client to workspace N [((m .|. modMask, k), f i) | (i, k) <- zip [0 .. fromIntegral workspaces - 1] [xK_a ..] -- See here , (f, m) <- [(view, 0), (shift, shiftMask)]] -- mod-{w,e,r} @@ Switch to physical/Xinerama screens 1, 2, or 3 -- mod-shift-{w,e,r} @@ Move client to screen 1, 2, or 3 ++ [((m .|. modMask, key), screenWorkspace sc >>= f) | (key, sc) <- zip [xK_w, xK_e, xK_r] [0..] , (f, m) <- [(view, 0), (shift, shiftMask)]] When the shortcut is mod-a, I can switch workspace :) So, it is a key bindings problem. A brief descritption of a french keyborad: To do the number 1 , we must press shift+& . So, to do a 1 I must press on shift then '&'. Maybe , xmonad catch mod-shift-& and not mod-(shift-&) -> mod-1 . Is that I say is comprehensible ? If yes, Are you agree ?

I definitely recall this being the documented behavior of X keysym bindings; it works with regard to *physical* keys, together with the set of modifiers, but keyboard layout etc are ignored. So your issue makes perfect sense, and the correct fix is to chose different keys for those bindings. (Now if only we'd thought to ask for a photo of your keyboard!) Stefan

I don't sure if I have understand ... That a photo a my keyboard type : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Clavier_informatique_AZERTY.JPG
