Wrong window placement #25

Open ghost opened 13 years ago

ghost commented 13 years ago

Hi,

on some dual-head configurations both the presenter and the presentation window appear on the same screen (no warning on the console).

I can reproduce this as follows: Using gnome-display-settings, setup both screens with different (native) resolutions next to each other aligned at the top (when aligning at the bottom, everything works fine).

Sketch: xxxoooo xxxoooo xxxoooo oooo

I have vala-0.11.6, gtk+-2.20.1-r1 and the nouveau driver from kernel 2.6.36-r5 (with Gentoo patches). All packages are compiles with Xinerama support and it is enabled in xorg.conf.

Any ideas what's wrong?

I have/had the same issue with a 2.x development version. Will report back with 2.0-3 (Ubuntu Lucid 10.04)

Yours, Steffen

Yes, happens with 2.0-3 on Ubuntu lucid as well. Window manager is metacity, because I don't get 3D compiz/3D acceleration to work in dual screen mode with internal Intel Mobile 4 Series VGA. Anything else I could do to help debugging ?

Has anyone else been able to reproduce ? Yours, Steffen

One more hint: The laptop is a Thinkpad T400 with onboard intel graphics. I just checked that it works with the external monitor on the DVI output, different native resolutions, and aligned at the bottom.

Hope that helped. Steffen
