It is XFree specific only if other X implementations do not provide for you to set the modeline, and then there isn't much you can do.. It is hardware oriented only in that it lets you set the modeline, which is what applications need if they are to control not only the screen size, but also the other aspects of the display such as the refresh rate. That applications can control them is very important. > I think it should > a) be done as a separate spec Perhaps, but it is for window manager - client interaction, which is what EWMH is all about. > b) use a new manager selection like _NET_VIDMODE_MANAGER I like this idea alot. > c) explain the interaction with RandR I don't think there should be any interaction with RandR. RandR is meant for long-term changes to your desktop geometry, not for zooming to a new vidmode. With RandR, your desktop is actually resized. Your panels should not be resized, and apps moved around, etc, every time you change resolutions to watch a movie. Ben
