No luck with -display and any IP address I can think of - my address |
54 |
from the net, my local address. |
55 |
|
56 |
However, there is xdpyinfo -queryExtensions and in that data I see this: |
57 |
|
58 |
mark@gandalf ~ $ xdpyinfo -queryExtensions |

76 |
|

|
78 |
So on my dad's machine, which I know I set up as 1280x1024, I get the |
79 |
right answer. |
80 |
|
81 |
On my mom's machine however, which I have to |

and locally on my machine here I get the same info: |

109 |
|
110 |
so I'm not sure if I'm looking at their machines or just my own? |
111 |
|
112 |
Actually, on my mom's machine it seems it's not really screen #0, it's |
113 |
screen #1 according to the config file, but maybe Xorg actually calls |
114 |
it screen #0 when it's tunning. None the less her default resolution |
115 |
