center on main screen in dual-head environment #3

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use two or more screens
2. launch circular-main-menu

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
cirluar-main-menu launches center, spanning both screens. It'd be better 
so center it on the main screen (or the one the mouse is currently in).

I am using a dual head setup with nVidia binary drivers and I only get half a 
menu on
the primary screen and nothing on the secondary screen.

Thank you.

I'll have to set up dual monitors to give this a try.

When I run it, I have a dual monitor setup with the secondary screen off to the 
left.
the menu app appears to the right hand side on my main monitor. It would be 
nice to
be able to drag it where I would like it to sit.

I have the same problem alI see the menu in the middle of 1280x1024 on top of
1280x800 so I see a little bit more than half.
But on the lower monitor I do not see anything.

Seems it's reproducible on any dual-head environments. I have a 1440x900 LCD 
main
screen (on the right) and a 1280x1024 secondary screen (on the left) and the 
menu
appears only on the secondary screen (half of it), while there's nothing on the 
main
screen. Just quite like people before me.

Appears that this might have been a gdk bug; which has just been fixed.

I'm going to try and set up a dual headed display this weekend.

I can confirm this also, using nVidia TwinView with horizontally spanned 
identical
monitors.  The main monitor shows the menu and the secondary monitor shows 
nothing,
not even when moving the menu on right-click.

I'm loving the menu BTW - can't wait to get it working.

I'm not sure what is affected by the fix of bug #16530. The bug reads like it 
is 
xrandr, anyways: I installed latest gtk+ 2.14.1 and i still can reproduce the 
issue 
(with ati & nvidia binary drivers, if it matters).

Hi stevehw.  I've tried this on my machine using a nVidia fx5500 card with 
different
screen resolutions and using different positions. i.e. Above, Left Of, etc. and 
can't
seem to reproduce this problem.  I've also tried changing what the primary 
monitor is
and it still seems to span them both.  I'll keep playign around with the 
settings to
see if I can reproduce this.

I've tried doing this but with my twinview setup but
gdk_screen_get_n_monitors() always reports that there is only one monitor.

gdk_screen_get_monitor_geometry() returns back the geometry of the two monitors
combined so I can't calculate the centre of each monitor which is a bit of a 
pain. 
I'll look into it a bit more but it looks like this is not possible when using
twinview.  Regards
