From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sorry if this isn't the place for this, I couldn't find a forum for the program. I have 2 monitors and when I try to use a custom location it seems like XClicker doesn't understand how to handle that. When getting a location the coordinates behave as I'd expect, treating all of my screen space as one with the numbers increasing as you go right and down, the top left of my left monitor currently being 0,142. However when I activate to start clicking it seem as though it treats the top left corner of whichever monitor the cursor is on as though it were 0,0, meaning it doesn't actually click where I want.

For example, if I Get a location on the right monitor and position the mouse on the right monitor it'll actually click a location 1920 pixels to the right, since the left is 1080p, and I think 142 pixels down. With the same coordinates, if I position my mouse on the left monitor then activate It'll go close to where I want it to on the right monitor for the first click, then shift to the right again since it's now on the right monitor.

Edit: Oh I figured it out and it's definitely newbie stuff. I was poking around and for shits tried to upgrade my OS. While I couldn't do that, it seems like it did upgrade a lot of other stuff and now the clicker works normally. I was hoping it'd be a miracle and fix another issue, too, but it didn't.
