Re: [9fans] 9vx.OSX bug: resize on second display causes window to go wrong

["andrey mirtchovski" <mirtchovski@gmail.com>]

I think the problem comes from 9vx picking up the main display's
dimensions as the preallocation for "full screen". Drawterm has a fix
for that which loops through all the currently attached displays and
picks up the one with the largest size to decide what the "maximum
dimensions" should be.

here's the relevant code from drawterm:

/* figure out which display is the largest and return its bounds so we can
 * preallocate drawterm's screen to that
 */
Point
get_largest_screen()
{
	CGDirectDisplayID 	*displaylist;
	CGDisplayCount 		displaycount;
	OSErr 				err;
	int i;
	Point max = Pt(0, 0);
	Point curr;
	err = CGGetActiveDisplayList(0, NULL, &displaycount);
	if(err != noErr)
		sysfatal("can not enumerate active displays");

	displaylist = (CGDirectDisplayID *)malloc(displaycount *
sizeof(CGDirectDisplayID));
	if(displaylist == NULL)
		sysfatal("can not allocate memory for display list");

	err = CGGetActiveDisplayList(displaycount, displaylist, &displaycount);
	if(err != noErr)
		sysfatal("can not obtain active display list");

	for(i = 0; i < displaycount; i++) {
		curr.x = CGDisplayPixelsWide(displaylist[i]);
		curr.y = CGDisplayPixelsHigh(displaylist[i]);

		if(max.x < curr.x)
			max.x = curr.x;
		if(max.y < curr.y)
			max.y = curr.y;
	}

	free(displaylist);

	return max;

}
you will need to modify _screeninit() in 9vx/osx/screen.c to something like:

Point max = get_largest_screen();
osx.fullscreenr = Rect(0, 0, max.size.width, max.size.height);

this is tentative. i have no second screen to test right now.
