Hi, I pulled compiz from GIT yesterday to see if I could get proper multi-head support. I think the current status is great, but I have one little suggestion to make. The current behavior is that we have two viewpoints of the "cube" (it's more like a body with eight side planes now). If it's rotated one step we skip one of the planes. Rotating four times is enough to go round exactly once. Is it possible to decrease this stepsize, so we can rotate the body in eight steps? I.E. When having two monitors rotating one step will shift the contents of one monitor to the other. :) Keep up the good work!

I'm guessing you've got both your heads onthe same resolution? For this scenario, perhaps such an option can be added? (I'm not a dev, just pointing out the current reasoning (as I understand it)) Col.

I think that what we currently have is the best we can do right now. When we have input transformation support in the server we'll be able to do pretty much anything. -David
