| 2021-12-11 12:47:48 | <aplainzetakind> | Which module does it come from? |
| 2021-12-11 12:48:26 | <Solid> | Graphics.X11.Xlib.Display |
| 2021-12-11 12:48:35 | <geekosaur> | XMonad reexports it and getScreenInfo |
| 2021-12-11 12:48:38 | <Solid> | oh but XMonad laso re-exports it |
| 2021-12-11 12:49:08 | <Solid> | shouldn't you just be able to execute this in main? this might be the most painless way |
| 2021-12-11 12:50:40 | <geekosaur> | well, point is I want to be able to find this out without the config in the way, just dumping server information as xmonad would receive it |
| 2021-12-11 12:50:48 | <aplainzetakind> | [Rectangle {rect_x = 0, rect_y = 0, rect_width = 2560, rect_height = 1440}] |
| 2021-12-11 12:51:06 | <geekosaur> | guh |
| 2021-12-11 12:51:10 | <aplainzetakind> | Currently in arandr the monitors are laid out nested. |
| 2021-12-11 12:51:36 | <geekosaur> | so you're getting one screen from xrandr |
| 2021-12-11 12:51:51 | <geekosaur> | run xrandr on the command line to see what it says and pastebin the result |
| 2021-12-11 12:51:56 | <geekosaur> | @where paste |
| 2021-12-11 12:51:56 | <lambdabot> | Help us help you: please paste full code, input and/or output at e.g. https://paste.tomsmeding.com |
| 2021-12-11 12:53:27 | <aplainzetakind> | http://dpaste.com//HQS8SQY97 |
| 2021-12-11 12:54:21 | <aplainzetakind> | The monitors are part of the same screen. |
| 2021-12-11 12:54:35 | <aplainzetakind> | Pretty sure this is not an xmonad problem actually. |
| 2021-12-11 12:55:20 | <Solid> | `Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2560 x 1440` tells me that it only recognises one monitor (the HDMI-2 one) |
| 2021-12-11 12:56:13 | <aplainzetakind> | No, the "screen" is a composite thing. |
| 2021-12-11 12:56:22 | <aplainzetakind> | Let me arrange the monitors side by side. |
| 2021-12-11 12:56:59 | <aplainzetakind> | https://dpaste.com//2V57VH55F |
| 2021-12-11 12:57:15 | <aplainzetakind> | See, it sets that screen to be the smallest rectangle containing both monitors. |
| 2021-12-11 12:57:38 | <Solid> | yes, but 2560x1440 was only the second monitor before, no? |
| 2021-12-11 12:57:59 | <aplainzetakind> | The first output was because I arranged the monitors to be nested in arandr. |
| 2021-12-11 12:58:13 | <Solid> | oh |
| 2021-12-11 12:58:14 | <aplainzetakind> | So The smallest rectangle was the bigger monitor. |
| 2021-12-11 12:58:24 | <aplainzetakind> | Otherwise things are unusable. |
| 2021-12-11 13:01:46 | <geekosaur> | hm. are they set to be mirrored? |
| 2021-12-11 13:03:48 | <aplainzetakind> | Does that mean cloned? |
| 2021-12-11 13:04:05 | <geekosaur> | yes |
| 2021-12-11 13:04:14 | <aplainzetakind> | No. |
| 2021-12-11 13:04:50 | <aplainzetakind> | They show portions of that abstract screen, however they are arranged. |
| 2021-12-11 13:05:02 | <geekosaur> | so with the monitors no longer overlapping, try the getCleanedScreenInfo thing again |
| 2021-12-11 13:06:12 | <aplainzetakind> | [Rectangle {rect_x = 0, rect_y = 0, rect_width = 6985, rect_height = 4881}] |
| 2021-12-11 13:06:20 | <aplainzetakind> | Moved quite a bit apart. |
| 2021-12-11 13:07:06 | <aplainzetakind> | I saw an SO question having this issue, edited to say that it got fixed after a system update with newer drivers. |
| 2021-12-11 13:07:15 | <aplainzetakind> | Can't find it now unfortunately. |
| 2021-12-11 13:07:52 | <geekosaur> | yeh, I'm thinking at this point it's a driver issue |
| 2021-12-11 13:08:16 | <aplainzetakind> | Found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63887202/xrandr-two-screens-different-resolution-without-invisible-area |
| 2021-12-11 13:08:21 | <geekosaur> | xmjonad is not being told by the X server that there are two monitors |
| 2021-12-11 13:08:47 | <aplainzetakind> | I have nouveau and i915. |
| 2021-12-11 13:09:02 | <aplainzetakind> | I could switch which is in use in xorg.conf maybe? |
| 2021-12-11 13:09:15 | <aplainzetakind> | Is that a viable approach? |
| 2021-12-11 13:09:38 | <geekosaur> | it's worth trying |
| 2021-12-11 13:12:02 | <aplainzetakind> | Is there a handholdy guide to get me through without having to grok the entire xorg configuration. I have next to no knowledge on how to do that. |
| 2021-12-11 13:20:51 | <geekosaur> | not really |
| 2021-12-11 13:21:04 | <geekosaur> | https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=243402 may help some |

| 2021-12-11 16:08:01 | <Solid> | I wonder if this might be a good place to keep the tutorial config in |

| 2021-12-11 16:36:01 | <noex> | what would be the best way to arrange terminals in a certain configuration on different workspaces on startup? |
| 2021-12-11 16:36:48 | <noex> | intuitively, i would think the startup hook, but that runs on restart |
| 2021-12-11 16:37:46 | <Solid> | You can use spawnOnce (or spawnOnOnce) if you really only want to spawn these once per session |
| 2021-12-11 16:38:03 | <Solid> | ( https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.0/docs/XMonad-Util-SpawnOnce.html#v:spawnOnce ) |
| 2021-12-11 16:40:13 | <noex> | nice, thanks. i'll give that a shot. |

| 2021-12-11 18:06:26 | <Solid> | ah that's totally fine; mental health is definitely more important than xmonad :) |
| 2021-12-11 18:06:44 | <liskin> | Oh it's not just mental this time :-) |
| 2021-12-11 18:06:52 | <liskin> | Although who knows |
| 2021-12-11 18:07:29 | <Solid> | Oh right, you also hand some hand troubles (hopefully not more! :o) |
| 2021-12-11 18:07:30 | <liskin> | Maybe it's just my body telling me it's time for a proper break, and since the brain wouldn't listen otherwise... ;-) |
| 2021-12-11 18:07:43 | <liskin> | Yeah just hands |
| 2021-12-11 18:08:05 | <liskin> | Should be fine but I need to make sure it's well enough to not come back |
| 2021-12-11 18:10:13 | <Solid> | yeah I developed RSI in my right hand while I was in high school and to this day I can't use mice of a certain shape because in the span of like five minutes my hand will cramp like crazy |
| 2021-12-11 18:10:23 | <Solid> | shit is scary |
| 2021-12-11 18:12:36 | <liskin> | Oh |
| 2021-12-11 18:13:17 | <liskin> | I really really hope it just goes back to its original state :-/ |

| 2021-12-11 18:14:22 | <noex> | i struggled with that really bad recently as well. it was frustrating, and i even saw a doctor who gave me no useful direction at all. |
| 2021-12-11 18:14:26 | <liskin> | I tried moving Ctrl to CapsLock to relieve the pinky a bit but there's not much else I can do without seriously disrupting the way I use the laptop |

| 2021-12-11 18:15:30 | <liskin> | I'm seeing a physiotherapist next week. And by seeing I mean they booked a phone call. So... probably a waste of time? :-D |
| 2021-12-11 18:16:05 | <noex> | so i made a video on what steps i took to cure mine. i have no clue if it could help someone else and i'm sorry if it sucks, but I documented some things I did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub6bGTb9wpc |
| 2021-12-11 18:16:36 | <noex> | definitely recommend looking at the linked video in the description |

| 2021-12-11 18:17:20 | <Solid> | Ah, a phone call, the best way to diagnose a physical symptom for sure! :D |
| 2021-12-11 18:24:57 | <liskin> | noex: I'm hoping to not need a different keyboard (maybe naive but I haven't had trouble for several decades so maybe?) but those stretches look quite useful, I'll try those for a while, thanks! |
| 2021-12-11 18:26:17 | <ectospasm> | I started using a Microsoft Natural Keyboard 4000 about 15 years ago. My RSI is barely noticeable since I switched. |
| 2021-12-11 18:26:55 | <ectospasm> | I have numbness/tingling in my ulnar nerve, and since I started using that model keyboard I only notice the problem when I think about it. |
| 2021-12-11 18:27:17 | <noex> | liskin: np at least for me those stretches were helpful - although at first quite painful...just take it gradually at first |
| 2021-12-11 18:28:21 | <liskin> | noex: I tried those as I watched the video now and it was almost fine |
| 2021-12-11 18:28:33 | <liskin> | But then I'm very flexible in the first place |
| 2021-12-11 18:30:29 | <liskin> | There's some possibility my pain is related to the broken bone in my wrist that never grew back together. That would be a bit silly as it's not the easiest surgery to fix. :-/ |
| 2021-12-11 18:36:24 | <noex> | hard to say :/ hopefully the doc can give you some insight |
