Re: XF86Config and commandline

Sylvain,

We were discussing whether options should be able to apply to the whole set of screens as well as to each screen, or if you can only set them globally or per screen. Right now you can say:

XWin.exe -fullscreen -depth 32 -screen 0 800 600 -dpi 100 \
	-screen 1 -depth 16 -dpi 75

That sets fullscreen to on and sets a default depth of 32 bits. However, screen 1 overrides that with a depth of 16. Additionally, a different dpi is specified for each of screen 0 and screen 1.

Alexander was asking if we could simplify that at all. Read my comment again in that context and it should make more sense.

Its a good thing, because we will be more XFree86 compliant.


I don't like that. I don't think it is something that should be
gotten rid of. It may not be important for -fullscreen, but it is is
important for -depth, -dpi, etc.
