Package: xscreensaver
Version: 5.05-3
Followup-For: Bug #494267
A month or three ago I turned my flat Dell screen on its side, from
landscape mode to portrait mode; the last two lines of my .xsession
are now:
xrandr -o left
exec fvwm
This initially worked very nicely. Notably, xscreensaver duly played
its merry games in the full tall narrow screen and centred its login
dialog correctly in the middle when disturbed.
I recently got an xscreensaver update (I'm on testing); I don't know
what my prior version was, but I now have 5.05-3; and it quite plainly
thinks it's working on a screen with the height and width my screen
has when in landscape orientation. Thus the locked part of the screen
is a square on the short top side, the bottom portion of the screen is
visible past the saver and the login dialog, when shown, is vertically
centred in the locked square (not the whole screen) and quite
distinctly off-centre to the right. These symptoms and the displayed
animations quite plainly indicate that it's painting to a rectangle
that's the right size but wrongly oriented.
So I came to reportbug and its list of active bugs included this one,
which sounds suspiciously related.
Eddy.
