Re: [Xquartz-dev] Cannot enter full screen mode
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... On Dec 19, 2008, at 10:48, Timothy Goins wrote:

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.

Ah, great! Thanks.
I have an external monitor attached to the laptop. Is there anyway I can tell X11.app to set the size and location of the root window so that the root window covers one screen completely but not the other?
Sorry, no.

Thanks for not cleaning my clock for my making a comment but not yet offering a solution. When I was running 10.4.x, I was using Apple's stock X11.app, and mwm because of my AIX (before IBM went to the CDE) background. I don't think my solution back then was as elegant as the one you suggest, which I'll check out ASAP. Thanks. On Dec 19, 2008, at 12:14 PM, Jeremy Huddleston wrote:

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:
