[Xquartz-dev] XQuartz 2.6.0_rc1 (for Leopard and Snow Leopard)

[doh123]

I found out something else.. I'm not sure if it will help for better multimonitor support or not... but...

xrandr will only report the normal 2 resolutions when you have dual non mirrored monitors... but, if I start xquartz, go in system preferences, then switch to mirrored mode then off of mirrored mode (not keeping it mirrored, just toggling on then back off)... xrandr then sees the 2 modes from before, plus all the modes for the primary monitor... and they all work.  When I switch to a mode thats only for the primary monitor, the other monitor stays blank and only the primary changes and stays correct... switching back to modes 0 or 1 that spans both monitors still work fine as well.

I'd think that Xquartz could maybe somehow poll the primary monitor for all its modes and fill them in... and it would work without having to do the mirror toggle trick?

Its not actually changing to another app...  I've reproduced this on many many machines now, even with bare minimum software running to get OSX to run, including getting rid of Dashboard or anything else that could be problematic, and it never changes... just once an hour or two, sometimes only takes 10 minutes... its totally random... just "poof" and all X11 windows lose focus... then come back.  Its highly annoying in fullscreen since it hides the shielding window and you lose the whole fullscreen and see the desktop... it happens more often when I'm not running quartz-wm than when I am. (I never run it in fullscreen)
