[e-users] E17 window problem
This is hard to describe, so here's a link to see the problem: http://advena.webhop.org/~mark/screenshot.jpg The "screen" occupies only the upper left corner of the display - the blank area in the image occupies the rest of the display. I can move windows anywhere on the display, and the pager sees them just fine. I know there are multiple reminders :) of the development status of the code, but I thought someone might be interested in seeing this and/or commenting on it. This is on mandrake 10.1, pulled E17 from cvs last night. mark --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

(this happens when you have 2 monitors with one a lower res than the other). the 2 screens can look at ANY part of the root window, and be any size. they can even overlap. in fact i have found this is happening when you have "tv out" enabled on some drivers. anyway - SOMETHING must be advertising a xinerama setup where 2 of these "viewports" overlap. the problem is that right now e17's handling of overlapping screen geometries is primitive. it takes the first and throws away any others that overlap - it considers these as "wrong" or as "extra viewports" that arent needed (they are just extra info for tv out etc.). now you might want to check your x setup - do you have 2 screen outs (tv out) if so, disable it. we need to work on the support for this code - but as i said. it's primitive right now and so u will just have to simplify your setup until we get to making it more sophisticated (eg detecting overlapping viewports and having some smart "auto detect" that uses the biggest one of the 2 not just the first. also being able to configure which ones you want to use or not and how, and recording this config info etc.) -- - Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler)[EMAIL PROTECTED] 裸好多 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tokyo, Japan (東京 日本) --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

now you might want to check your x setup - do you have 2 screen outs (tv out) if so, disable it. That did it. Thanks for the info. E17 looks great! mark --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users. Discover which products truly live up to the hype.

Thanks for the info. E17 looks great! thought so :) as a note to anyone else beware of this. the code does need to be made more robust as i noted - but for now thats a secondary issue :) -- - Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler)[EMAIL PROTECTED] 裸好多 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tokyo, Japan (東京 日本) --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
