How does dwm handle dual screen?

(I am now an Awesome user, and i am thinking installing dwm. I love the spiral/dwindle layout in Awesome and I am trying to install the fibonacci patch in dwm(link). But i think it's failing. When i do makepkg, this is the last output before the error. Does anyone have any ideas?)

The fibonacci patch is corrected. Now i am trying to figure out how to get dual screen support. It has some, but i want it like awesome.

Dwm has minimal support for dual screens. AFAIK they are still working on the best way to support it. If you must have dual screens the way awesome handles them, I'd suggest you use awesome for the time being.

For the record I am a dwm user, but I'm using 4.7 because the code got cluttered when they started adding dual screen support. Once it is implemented in a sensible way I'll upgrade.

Isn't it an idea to start dwm twice, like is sugested with wmii here?

check out the "patches" section on the dwm page at suckless.org

dwm-gtx for example has xinerama support
