Maximization Problems on (some) Secondary Displays #3

Closed wcunning closed 12 years ago

wcunning commented 12 years ago

I have 4 monitors, in the following orientation: one horizontal at 1920x1080 -> 1200x1920 -> 1200x1920 -> 1920x1080, with the tops of each monitor aligned. Mediocre ASCII art follows this bug report for the visually inclined. My issue is that windows maximized on the middle two are not being limited by the panels on those monitors. I am using the AMD proprietary graphics drivers, if that makes a difference.

If you set your primary monitor on one of the rotated monitors, does it work correctly when maximising windows?

wcunning commented 12 years ago

Yes, but not if I move primary status away. Also, the non-rotated displays work fine whether they're primary or not.

I tested this on my NVIDIA system and cant reproduce it. It may be a bug in the AMD Driver, perhaps you can confirm this, by testing with radeon and see if that works.

I found the issue only after poking into xorg.conf. Apparently the AMD setup utility doesn't attempt to snap monitors to the same level, so the screen that was defining where the panels went was at "0 18" and the middle two displays were at "1920 2" and "3120 2". Changing all of those to be at "x 0" made everything work properly.
