However, I would much rather have separate X screens with Xinerama
disabled,
each running their own i3 instance. In an attempt to try this, I
configured i3
to spawn on each of my DISPLAYs (:0.0 :0.1 :0.2) in my ".xinitrc" file.
This
sucessfully spawned i3 instances on each of my X screens -- however I am
experiencing input problems. Keyboard shortcuts only seem to work on a
single
i3 instance. The other two i3 instances that are spawned are unusable
since
one i3 instance catches all of the keyboard events.
Are you using the latest version of i3? If not, upgrade. If that doesn’t
help,
please come to IRC so that we can debug the problem more interactively.
Mailing
lists are tedious.

Hello Michael,

I am using i3-wm 4.2-1 along with xorg 1.12.1 on Arch Linux. I'm idling in
the channel atm (prg318) . Hopefully between the two of us and others in
IRC we can diagnose the issue!

See you in IRC!

Cheers!
Lukas
