-Screen can be either a number (starting at 0 for the first screen) or a
-position. When using numbers, it is not guaranteed that your screens always
-get the same number. Though, unless you upgrade your X server or drivers, the
-order usually stays the same. When using positions, you have to specify the
-exact pixel where the screen *starts*, not a pixel which is contained by the
-screen. Thus, if your first screen has the dimensions 1280x800, you can match
-the second screen right of it by specifying 1280. You cannot use 1281.
+The output is the name of the RandR output you attach your screen to. On a
+laptop, you might have VGA1 and LVDS1 as output names. You can see the
+available outputs by running +xrandr --current+.
 
 *Examples*:
 ---------------------------
-workspace 1 screen 0
-workspace 5 screen 1

-workspace 1 screen 1280
