For those interested in something similar with sway, you can:
- Add a headless display with `swaymsg create_output SOME_NAME`
- Configure its resolution and position like you do for other outputs
- Start a VNC server on that output with `wayvnc --output=SOME_NAME`
- Start a VNC client somewhere else you want to use your second screen (there are some that are browser-based)
Unfortunately it is somewhat undocumented: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/5553 https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/5553 but you can find some info on the net: https://www.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comments/k1zl41/thank_you_devs_free_ipad_repurposed_as_a_second/ https://www.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comments/k1zl41/thank_you_de...
I saw in that readme that they wanted ways to get rid of dummy adapters. That above is one such possible way for sway.
- pdxandi 6y ago> with sway This made me think, "Sway. Sway. Sway. Sway in the Morning." Not sure how many hip hop fans there are here...
- phlofy 6y agoSame! Made me smile :)
- 12bits 6y agoI know we'll be downvoted to death for this. Sway is so deeply rooted in the game and remains a solider for the culture to this day. Always a positive beam of positivity from him.
- pdxandi 6y agoAre we being downvoted because it's not related?
- mjcohen 6y agoI'm so much older that it made me think of Dean Martin.
- RMPR 6y agoThanks for the tip, that's definitely something I'll try out.
- MayeulC 6y agoOh, and I played a bit with multiseat yesterday. If you want, every VNC user can have their own mouse/keyboard, with independent focus. Though that currently takes a bit of fiddling (`swaymsg seat seat_name attach "virtual pointer"` + one wayvnc instance per pointer), wayvnc reportedly has a branch where it's done automatically.
