Re: [dev] wmii display size issue

Unfortunately, the results are still the same. The external monitor's
entire display allows the mouse cursor, however wmii is only available
in the upper left corner. As you can see in the screenshot below, the
statusbar shows the bottom of the workable space, even though I can
mouse over the entire display and you can see the alt-p menu at the very
bottom:

Any help would truly be appreciated. I thought that there *must* be a
way to force wmii's display size so that it is using the entire thing.

I simply need a way to tell it that it should be using 1050x1680

Thanks
