Bug 79576 – rss-glx needs to be compiled with JWZ's modified vroot.h to work w/ xinerama correctly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Benjamin Ritcey 2005-01-26 07:28:09 UTC]

rss-glx doesn't correctly work under Xscreensaver with xinerama - it will run two hacks, but puts them both on a single screen.  JWZ modified vroot.h to Do The Right Thing under xscreensaver+xinerama (see LJ URL) - rss-glx needs to be compiled with this version.  New vroot.h:  http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/vroot.h

Reproducible: Always

JWZ's modified vroot.h

this goes in the 'files' directory

JWZ modifed vroot.h to enable hacks to work with xscreensaver+xinerama - without this modified version, the rss-glx hacks all run on the same screen, one on top of the other.

Drop the attached vroot.h in 'files' as 'jwz-vroot.h' (it hasn't otherwise changed much since 1991, which is why I'm including the file vs. a patch, but do as you wish).
