Hi Mihai, hi Alex,

the new RandR based Xinerama is about to be merged to the nx-libs=20=20
3.6.x=20branch. Here are some ideas how to make the feature addressable=20=
=20
in=20X2Go.

1.
X2Go Client can server-side query x2gofeaturelist, it outputs the=20=20
string=20X2GOAGENT_RANDRXINERAMA. If that string is in x2gofeaturelist,=20=
=20
then=20the new Xinerama code is present in x2goagent/nxagent.

2.
We are about to add a xinerama=3D{0,1} NX option for the NX options file=20=
=20
(Ulrich=20is probably reviewing right now...). This should be used=20=20
through=20NX proxy (I guess) for setting up Xinerama in X2Go Agent. It=20=
=20
works=20on session startup and session resumption.

3.
One can disable Xinerama completely via cmdline switch for x2goagent:=20=20
-disablexineramaextension.


My=20suggestion is:

   o you keep the xinerama.conf file with X2GOAGENT_RANDRXINERAMA,
     but put "enabled" or "disabled" into it
   o the "enabled" switch is rather for human beings, because the real
     enabling takes place via NX options
   o if "disabled" is set, then x2gostartagent should notice that
     and add -disablexineramaextension

Also, -disablexineramaextension should be added (commented out, of=20=20
course,=20thus for reference) to /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options.

So far from Uli's and Mike's Xinerama hacking frontier...

Greets,
Mike
