Logs: liberachat/#xmonad
| 2023-01-27 00:11:49 | <scrungus> | I thought I would check here to see if it was a problem other people had ran into before. I'm guessing it has to be xrandr or something else sending slightly weird values for my monitors to xmonad that's confusing it |
| 2023-01-27 00:12:35 | <geekosaur> | I think you'd have to have overlapping values for it to do that, but I checked the xrandr config and it's not overlapping |
| 2023-01-27 00:13:56 | <geekosaur> | arandr shouldn't be capable of outputting overlapping or gapped xrandr configurations anyway; I'd have recommended using it if you had written the xrandr config yourself |
| 2023-01-27 00:14:25 | <scrungus> | Yeah that's true. I probably took the less error-prone path already in that regard |
| 2023-01-27 00:15:04 | <scrungus> | I might try unplugging some of my monitors at a time to see if I can diagnose anything else about the issue.The weird thing is how it seems to work fine when they're out of order. By which I mean how xmonad behaves is how I would expect |
| 2023-01-27 00:15:20 | <geekosaur> | hrm |
| 2023-01-27 00:15:40 | <geekosaur> | that sounds like we missed a rescreen somehow |
| 2023-01-27 00:15:50 | <geekosaur> | does mod-n do anything? |
| 2023-01-27 00:16:14 | <scrungus> | No it doesn't |
| 2023-01-27 00:16:24 | <scrungus> | What is it supposed to do? I'm not super familiar with the keybindings |
| 2023-01-27 00:16:30 | <geekosaur> | …wait, we can't have missed it, you rearrange the screens before starting xmonad and we should get the current xrandr setup |
| 2023-01-27 00:16:36 | <geekosaur> | it does a forced rescreen |
| 2023-01-27 00:16:39 | <scrungus> | Oh I see |
| 2023-01-27 00:17:27 | <scrungus> | Yeah that's the weird part. It really seems like xmonad is still partially relying on the old default value or something but that shouldn't be possible |
| 2023-01-27 00:17:40 | <scrungus> | And I've just been using startx |
| 2023-01-27 00:17:49 | <geekosaur> | unless the video driver is doing something screwy, which has been known to happen |
| 2023-01-27 00:18:01 | <scrungus> | That's possible. |
| 2023-01-27 00:18:17 | <geekosaur> | okay, if you used stack to set up xmonad, run `stack ghci`. otherwise, run `ghci` |
| 2023-01-27 00:18:32 | <scrungus> | Okay |
| 2023-01-27 00:18:40 | <geekosaur> | at the prompt, enter: openDisplay "" >>= getCleanedScreenInfo |
| 2023-01-27 00:19:24 | <geekosaur> | this should print a list of rectangles |
| 2023-01-27 00:19:46 | <scrungus> | Hm, "variable not in scope" |
| 2023-01-27 00:19:56 | <scrungus> | That's probably not good :p |
| 2023-01-27 00:20:04 | <geekosaur> | hm. are you in your xmonad config directory? |
| 2023-01-27 00:20:37 | <geekosaur> | you'll need to be for this to work |
| 2023-01-27 00:20:58 | <scrungus> | Okay I wasn't but I switched to it and it's saying the same thing |
| 2023-01-27 00:21:00 | <geekosaur> | it's possible you need to do `import XMonad` first |
| 2023-01-27 00:21:05 | <scrungus> | Oh probably |
| 2023-01-27 00:21:13 | <scrungus> | So those are xmonad functions right? |
| 2023-01-27 00:21:29 | <scrungus> | Okay it worked |
| 2023-01-27 00:21:55 | <scrungus> | ghci> openDisplay "" >>= getCleanedScreenInfo |
| 2023-01-27 00:21:56 | <scrungus> | [Rectangle {rect_x = 3840, rect_y = 0, rect_width = 1920, rect_height = 1080},Rectangle {rect_x = 1920, rect_y = 0, rect_width = 1920, rect_height = 1080},Rectangle {rect_x = 0, rect_y = 0, rect_width = 1920, rect_height = 1080}] |
| 2023-01-27 00:21:56 | <scrungus> | ghci> |
| 2023-01-27 00:22:01 | <geekosaur> | okay, so the rectangles in order should reflect what you have in the xrandr command |
| 2023-01-27 00:22:53 | <scrungus> | What is "rect_x = 3840" referring to? |
| 2023-01-27 00:23:36 | <geekosaur> | the "x" part of the `--pos` parameter, which is `x`x`y` |
| 2023-01-27 00:24:46 | <scrungus> | I guess tit's not the same order |
| 2023-01-27 00:24:50 | <scrungus> | it's* |
| 2023-01-27 00:24:56 | <geekosaur> | looks to me like the rectangles are sorted by reverse x offset |
| 2023-01-27 00:25:07 | <geekosaur> | which is odd |
| 2023-01-27 00:25:42 | <scrungus> | Why would that happen then? |
| 2023-01-27 00:26:34 | <geekosaur> | that's almost always the video driver's fault; it's supposed to report them in xrandr order |
| 2023-01-27 00:26:48 | <scrungus> | So I should look into my video drivers? |
| 2023-01-27 00:27:04 | <geekosaur> | https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_questions#Screens_are_in_wrong_order might help, although it's a bit of work and won't help with the mouse. the PhysicalScreens module might work better here |
| 2023-01-27 00:27:24 | <geekosaur> | it sounds like it, yes |
| 2023-01-27 00:27:36 | <scrungus> | Would the physical screens module be able negate this issue you think? |
| 2023-01-27 00:28:26 | <geekosaur> | it lets you rearrange the screen rectangles as xmonad sees them, instead of just remapping the screen-focusing keys like the first link I gave you. so it should work |
| 2023-01-27 00:29:19 | <scrungus> | Well thank you so much for helping me out! |
| 2023-01-27 00:29:28 | <scrungus> | I'm always worried about being annoying when I ask for help with stuff |
| 2023-01-27 00:29:44 | <geekosaur> | no problem, it's what we're here for |
| 2023-01-27 00:31:06 | <scrungus> | My path here was actually that I started learning Haskell and I found out about xmonad and I was kind of surprised and wanted to use it. I've used tiling WMs before but not a dynamic one so it's been interesting |
