I don't know if it helps or not, but you can sort of accomplish this now (a "full-screen" X11 session on just one display) with xnest or Xephyr. I use this for things like the Gimp that work best with click-through (or FFM) enabled. The 1280x1000 fits my 1280x1024 second display exactly (the other 24 vertical is the Xephyr window's titlebar): $ cat ~/bin/fullX #!/bin/sh /usr/X11R6/bin/Xephyr :1 -screen 1280x1000 & sleep 1 DISPLAY=:1 xterm & DISPLAY=:1 pwm & - Brian On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 2:14 PM, Jeremy Huddleston jeremyhu-at-apple.com |Xquartz-dev/personal| <...> wrote:
That doesn't seem like a dumb response to me... It's quite interesting actually. Were you using Apple's stock X11.app or were you using XDarwin.app?
This functionality could be hacked into the existing xorg-server (look in hw/xquartz/xpr/xprScreen.c for something like xprAddScreen or xprAddDisplay) ... you could just put an 'if(this is a display i want to exclude) continue;' into the look adding all the displays.
I guess we could do something like another defaults option that is a list of displays to exlude somehow...

This (mine) has to be one of the dumbest responses ever. Still I want Samad to know that back in '06 under 10.4.x I hooked up my flat-screen TV to my MacBookPro and configured X to run full-screen on the TV while my regular Apple desktop remained intact on the laptop screen. In those days my window manager was mwm (Motif that I compiled from source code). Coincidentally, yesterday I started trying to remember how I did it so I could created the same capability using my MacPro (10.5.6—XQuartz 2.2.2_rc4) and the same TV. When I do (if it's still possible), I'll post my solution.
