[Notion-devel] Multihead expectations

[Arnout E. <no...@bz...>]

Hi,

How would we expect multihead to work?

A proposal as a starting point:

- When multiple monitors are found, one WScreen is created for each 
  non-'mirrored' monitor.

- When 2 monitors are acting in 'mirrored' mode (i.e. showing the same 
  contents), 1 WScreen is created to cater to them both. When they have
  different resolutions, the WScreen is as high as the highest monitor and
  as wide as the widest monitor.

- When WScreen 1 is on monitor A and WScreen 2 is on monitor B, and the
  relative locations are changed (monitor A moves from being left of monitor B
  to being right of monitor B), what should happen?

The latter is not an obvious choice, I think it would make sense to keep 
WScreen 1 on monitor A and WScreen 2 on monitor B. This way it's really just
the relative locations that change and not the contents of the windows. As an
additional plus, the WScreens don't have to be resized as long as the monitors
don't switch resolutions.

What do you think?


Kind regards,

Arnout
