After researching this I disovered the enabling the "Copy to texture" should work around the 2048 pixel limit for compiz. It would be good if this was enabled by default. However, after installing CompizConfig Settings Manager and enabling the copytex plugin a different behaviour is observed: the backgournd is filled with random junk.
After spend some hours stepping through the copytex.cpp code I've managed to put together a patch that fixes this problem. Really there are two things that need to be done: 1. Enable the "Copy to texture" plugin by default 2. Apply the patch to the copytex.cpp plugin. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792344 Title: Screen corruption with virtual desktop greater than 2048 pixels _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
