Bug Description
I am on a laptop (display DFP-0) with an external flatpanel monitor connected via a VGA cabel (CRT-0). I have tried disper on another laptop with a different Nvidia card but the same setup with the same result.
After upgrading to disper 0.3.0 from 0.2.3 I am now getting the message 'specified displays ignored for single' when running:
disper --single -d CRT-0
Running 'disper -S -d CRT-0' gives the same message, but does indeed switch to the external monitor. Furthermore 'disper --extend --direction=right' also works and does not give a message.
Full output from commands:
Prompt:> disper -s -v -d CRT-0

Hi, thanks for your bug report. Currently, disper has built-in notions of primary and secondary display. I think it would be useful that -s enables the first display, and -S enables the second one, when -d is specified on the command-line.
