Hi,

Well, I found my way to an acceptable solution :
- first, I finally understood that the ~/.notion/cfg_notion.lua was loaded
instead of /etc/X11/notion/cfg_defaults.lua. Until my attempt to solve this
issue, I have no ~/.notion/cfg_notion.lua, so when I created it with just
the line "dopath('mod_xrandr")", nearly everything was missing, including
notion...
- the best way I found is to make some little scripts with arandr to choose
witch screen(s) to enable, so fullscreen mode will only use it/them.

That make the trick, my only regret is that it does not make me able to use
my other screen as usual while I use the other in fullscreen mode.

Thanks for all, and best regards,

Stéphane Mourey
