Hi Folks,
I work at VMware, where I'm making the multi-monitor feature new in Workstation
6.0 (just released!) more robust. Long story short, window managers don't
consistently expose a good way for a single window to go fullscreen across more
than monitor, which is what we need to do to display the monitors we expose to a
guest virtual machine. So we've proposed a new hint for the wm-spec that lets us
do this in a clean way; anticipating its approval (or something close to it),
I'm implementing the functionality in a variety of window managers, including
Compiz.
Anyway, I got the source via git and I'm trying to build it. I'm not having much
luck. I'm running Ubuntu Dapper and have the latest version of XFixes according
to apt-get, but get this error when I try make:
cursor.o: In function `addCursor':/src/compiz/src/cursor.c:57: undefined
reference to `XFixesHideCursor'
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks!
Grant
