Dual monitors mirrored instead of extended with v2.2.2 #66

Closed sodface closed 11 months ago

Hi, testing 2.2.2 on Alpine locally before submitting the package upgrade.

Cagebreak starts normally on my two monitor desktop however my right monitor is a mirror of the left. Pointer travel and coordinates in dump output seem correct for a two monitor extended desktop but an open application is displayed on both screens at the same time. I'm also unable to change outputs to the right monitor (eg. ctrl+t 2), when I do that, I do not see the "current output" message displayed and even though pointer travel is correct, I can't type, click, or otherwise interact with the mirrored application on the right monitor, it's as if it's a still image.

Sorry, meant to note that I tried:

powering off the second monitor, both before and after starting cagebreak
disconnecting and reconnecting the second monitor, both before and after starting cagebreak

It seems as long as the monitor is physically connected, regardless whether it's powered on or off via it's power switch, it's detected and included in the configuration (in mirror mode as described above), only physically disconnecting the second monitor results in a single monitor with pointer bound to the geometry of the single display.

Here is my dump output with both monitors on and mirrored as described in the first post. Sorry for the multiple posts, I would just edit the first post but I'm pretty sure you don't see the edits via email.

And another with pointer on the second screen.
