-i3 is a tiling window manager that is based upon experiences the developers shared while attempting to fix/hack wmii.  i3 has the ability for either floating windows, which you can resize and move, and tiling windows.  i3 uses a tree as a data structure to allow for more flexibility.  i3 defaults with home-row key-bindings which are quick and easy to get beginner's off the ground.

 '''NOTE:  This wiki is made following the steps produced to get a working i3 using xrandr instead of xinerama, ATI proprietary drivers instead of radeon drivers, a dual-monitor setup, and no login manager.  For Nvidia and Twinview users, a link is supplied in [[#X11 and xrandr|X11 and xrandr]].  Xinerama was initially used and worked in the dual-monitor setup so it possible to substitute xinerama for xrandr with minimal changes.'''

 In the "Screen" section, I have the Virtual Display set at 3840x1200.  I originally tried 3840x1080, which would have been the resolution of both monitors combined horizontally, but as of yet I have not found a way to get that virtual resolution to work correctly in a dual monitor setup.  Set at 3840x1200 I am able to have both monitors set as if they are connected side-by-side.
