I have a laptop that is sometimes connected to an external monitor. I've configured bspwm to remove unplugged and disabled monitors, but bspwm does not remove the external monitor when it is disconnected,

Excerpt from bspwmrc:

bspc config remove_disabled_monitors true
bspc config remove_unplugged_monitors true

2 screens: built-in laptop screen + external monitor:

In the "1 screen" example, bspc query -T still shows a connected external monitor: "b 2560x1600+0+0 0,0,0,0"; even though it is physically disconnected and does not show up in the xrandr output.

bspwm was recently compiled and installed from the git master head.

I can confirm this issue; getting the same results with remove_disabled_monitors true and remove_unplugged_monitors true set.

@andornaut : not sure what VIRTUAL1 is but it seems to be related to this issue.
Is merge_overlapping_monitors set?
The output of bspwm compiled with make debug might be helpful. (There's a patch for the Arch Linux stock Git package.)

@SuperFluffy

With merge_overlapping_monitors set, bspwm behaves correctly, moves all windows to the new monitor, and also uses the entire space (although bspc config top_padding 30 is ignored and I have to set it by hand; but I will open a different bug report for that).

I have set merge_overlapping_monitors now, and redid the experiment: bspwm with and without the external, and with and without merge_overlapping_monitors. These settings are set:

bspc config remove_disabled_monitor true
bspc config remove_unplugged_monitor true
bspc config merge_overlapping_monitors [false, true]

xrandr and bspc -T without the external:

I have something new to add to the discussion: bspwm seems to have trouble when it is started with an external monitor connected; it works fine if I start bspwm and connect the external screen afterwards - I then experience the behaviour documented in my last comment.

However, when the external screen is connected at start, bspwm does the following:

  • it technically sees/uses the whole area of the external VGA1, but only puts tiled windows in the area corresponding to LVDS1; screenshot:
    bspwm_unmerged
  • when I xrandr --output LVDS1 --off the laptop screen, the windows stay on on LVDS1, even though it is turned off and my config tells bspwm to remove the disabled screen.
  • when I float a window and pull it into the empty area, bspwm will snap it to VGA1, but now the windows bleed into each other. Here is a screenshot of Firefox on LVDS1 (tiled) with a termite instance on VGA1 (tiled) underneath it.
    window_bleeding

I have the following relevant settings:

bspc config remove_disabled_monitor true
bspc config remove_unplugged_monitor true
bspc config merge_overlapping_monitors true

A query after startup with LVDS1 still enabled:

Please note that the settings end with _monitors, not _monitor.

9f8f115 should help.

Thanks for noticing that; I have changed all settings to _monitors. Removing LVDS1 does what it should! :)
