[SOLVED] Problems with OpenBox on 2 screens: unresponsive windows...

I have been running Arch with OpenBox and lxdm on two monitors for years, with one desktop spanning both monitors.

Now I just got a new monitor and I want to run OpenBox on two separate screens, so that I can set color depth separately for the screen (/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf, see below) where the new monitor is.

After a lot of research this is the closest I've come (see below): OpenBox works normally on screen 0.0, tint2 is there too. On screen 0.1, things work initially, I can open an application (a terminal, leafpad...) and type into it, mouse and keyboard work. But If I close the application, by typing exit into the terminal or clicking the window close button, the window stops responding but it is still displayed. If I open a terminal and ps aux | grep leafpad for instance, the leafpad process is there; if I kill it, the window remains displayed. Opening more terminal windows, dragging the window on the desktop leaves "traces" of the window's position. That is all on screen 0.1; on 0.0 everything seems normal.

I've also tried to start two openbox-session instances, in ~/.xprofile:

DISPLAY=:0.1
exec openbox-session & # instead of exec openbox &

DISPLAY=:0.0
exec openbox-session

The display initially looks right, but the keyboard does not work properly (e.g. arrows, del don't work).

These are the relevant config:

- /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf (generated with the help of nvidia-settings, according to people on the nvidia forum, this should work):

Re: [SOLVED] Problems with OpenBox on 2 screens: unresponsive windows...

It's your ~/.xprofile - the display variable would have to be exported and also don't "exec stuff &" itfp, just fork the openbox call.

(nb, Idk, whether lxdm will execute xprofile at all)

Re: [SOLVED] Problems with OpenBox on 2 screens: unresponsive windows...

Thank you for your quick response.

I took the .xprofile content from posts of people who claim to have been successful at this, eg
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1386049.
I think the idea is setting the display variable to the second screen, starting programs in that screen, then set it back to the first screen to start the (main) openbox session on that screen. Prepending "export" to the display variable does not change the behaviour.
Replacing exec openbox & with openbox & also does not help.

LXDM is supposed to source ~/.xprofile:

Yes, that is exactly what I tried. It does not make any difference, unfortunately.

Re: [SOLVED] Problems with OpenBox on 2 screens: unresponsive windows...

Ok, read the text of your OP now ;-)

Does

DISPLAY=:0.1 xrefresh

"clean up" the second screen?

Also:

I can open an application

How? The openbox menu? tint2?

Can you eg. w/ problems run fluxbox on the second screen (ie. only one openbox process)?

Re: [SOLVED] Problems with OpenBox on 2 screens: unresponsive windows...

DISPLAY=:0.1 xrefresh

does not help, does not seem to have any effect on screen1 (whether called from a terminal in screen1 or screen0).

- I can open applications using either the openbox menu or tint2 on screen1

I tried fluxbox using

startfluxbox &

in ~/.xprofile but then X crashes and falls back to lxdm on screen0.

However since I am not familiar with fluxbox I tried icewm instead:

export DISPLAY=:0.1
#startfluxbox &
icewm-session &
#openbox &
#tint2 &

export DISPLAY=:0.0
exec openbox-session

... which actually seems to work: I can open applications from its menu, drag windows around, close them normally.

So your suggestion as to running one openbox process seems spot on. Thank you!
I would rather work with one WM but the openbox/icewm setup seems to work ok.
So unless you have other suggestions regarding making openbox work with the 2 screens I will mark this as solved (sort of...).

Re: [SOLVED] Problems with OpenBox on 2 screens: unresponsive windows...

The saga continues...
As I mentioned

export DISPLAY=:0.1
icewm-session &

export DISPLAY=:0.0
exec openbox-session

works, but if I try to log out of the session by pressing "exit" on the openbox menu (in screen0), everything just freezes. I can kill X with ctrl-alt-bksp, which brings me back to the lxdm login, or ctrl-alt-Fx to go to a console to shutdown or reboot.

So I tried all openbox again, but this time opening an openbox session on each screen (instead of just openbox + tint2 on screen1). I also added a delay, even though it seems to work without it:

export DISPLAY=:0.1
openbox-session &
sleep 3

export DISPLAY=:0.0
exec openbox-session

Perhaps the problem was that I used exec for both lines initially, as seth mentioned?
If this keeps on working I will post back.

2019-12-04 everything working fine. Thanks for the help!
