It definitely does. Both via multiple screens or xinerama.

Openbox Dependencies on Feisty

The Feisty .deb package seems to require dependencies with vesions later than those provided by the repos, even after 'sudo aptitude update' + upgrade. Am I failing to understand something here? --Quixcyn 19:01, 11 September 2007 (EDT)

gcc -lX11 setlayout.c
ln a.out setlayout
./setlayout 0 3 2 0
