Multimonitor Setup about awesome-dotfiles HOT 4 CLOSED

No problem, take your time!

I got the second monitor to work by using the mons command from terminal. But before that the monitor was just black yes.

Thanks, I'm happy you're enjoying it! I actually only use it on a single monitor setup for the time being, it had been working well on multi monitor, however I have since made a lot of changes to it. I'll investigate it this weekend when I am able to head to my campus apartment and use dual monitors! is the secondary monitor just blank?

@Joelangelo a tool I'm experimenting with that you might be interested in is ARandR

Here's a link to a discussion about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/j19iq1/musthave_for_people_with_multimonitor_setup_arandr/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Once I have my second monitor configured properly I'll implement some changes to better support more monitors in my config.

Theme is now much more multi monitor friendly on the mirage_theme branch (which will be merged soon), fixed a ton of bugs and adjusted config behavior to work on any amount of monitors. You'll still need to make sure monitors are added via xrandr / arandr, however once they're recognized they will work well with the config.
