FVWM: Changing monitors and projectors

[Alastair Basden]

Hi,
I use fvwm with ubuntu (10.04), and am having problems when I change
monitor configurations, e.g. plug in a new monitor, remove a monitor or
plug in a projector.

At the moment, to get fvwm to behave, I have to restart it, once I've
added or removed the monitor.

Is there a better way of doing this? How do I set up my config file so
that it is screen and resolution aware?

Thanks,
Alastair.

Other than restarting FVWM? No. FVWM is not XRANDR aware, and won't
be until after we release 2.6.0. Currently to get FVWM to notice
this, you have to restart it.
