Re: [Notion-devel] Question from a newbie

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

- Ah, sorry about the confusion. Yes, ~/.notion/cfg_notion.lua entirely
replaces the default
- That should not be neccessary: if mod_xrandr is successfully loaded,
fullscreening firefox should make it fullscreen on only that screen,
leaving the other one entirely usable.

Perhaps try again with a clean ~/.notion/default-session* ?
