Back to Triple Displays


I nabbed two Dell Ultrasharp 2007s on ebay for $230 shipped. Unfortunately, the guy forgot to ship power and DVI cables; guess I'll be haggling the price down after finals week to compensate for the loss -_-. I also have to massage xmonad a bit to get display focusing and desktop switching just right.

Also I'm quite confident that I change setups as quickly as Bayley acquires new computers as a typical girl dumps her boyfriend. Not sure who I'm insulting =P.

Aaaaand before I forget, I'm posting my xorg.conf because I absolutely do not want to dig through the internet just to re-set up this configuration again.
